[Polycarp]

He is a conservative and his views were consistent with just war theory.

Pope John Paul II is opposed to this war.

If he was a FReeper and outlined his objections to Bush's plans here, Jim Robinson would ban him too.

I am opposed to this war to, but the ruler of this state is provoking it simply to stay in power, and he has shown he will do so at all costs. The question are: should be be allowed to hold this strategic place at this particular time; does he have weapons of such force imcommensurate with his defence needs? To me the most telling fact is that he kicked out the inspectors in 1998, when THEY were the most effective cover he could have had. WHY did he do this, except that he saw that the Clinton administration was a paper tiger and distracted by the Balkans situation.

Of course the Pope opposes this war. He is a liberal, blind to the suffering of the Iraqis under Saddam, adverse to whatever the US proposes to the contrary. Not surprising at all.

Of course the Pope is against the war; he is against anything America does; he is a poster child for the Democrats (excepting abortion).
