Hey it's a great to see another Catholic opposed to the war.
I could claim no special expertise and was ambivalent about in 2003, not knowing what to believe but it was interesting to see the war debated in 2003 with Buchanan and other USA catholics opposed but most it seemed to me in favor of it, arguing correctly the Pope's views are not binding, somehow they knew better.
Well as it turns out that the Pope's views aren't binding---they were only correct, lol. For me it was another learning moment, the same Pope that acknowledged the US's right to go after Bin Laden in Afghanistan said no to a war in Iraq.
I am in favor of the War in Iraq. With all due respect, the Vatican is NOT the source of geopolitical wisdom. We are in the early stages of the third world war and Islam is our mortal enemy - ever since it has been for these past 13 centuries.
Rome is waking-up, slowly, and that is evinced in L'Osservatore Romano's article re the dangers Islam presents.
The fact that huge Mosque was built in Rome is a sad and very tragic reminder of Rome's ill-advised tolerance which has not been, nor ever will be, reciprocated by Islam
