[RobbyS]

The Pope's inability to come to grips with evil General Sherman, who knew a little about it, said that war is hell. Face it: even in a good cause, war results in evil being done. Iaruis died; our men die. It boils down to what is the lesser evil, and that is something we will know only after the fact. I know who is wrong in this matter. Our Lord spoke a parable about the king with inferior forces was enjoined to treat with his enemy and get the best terms possible.

[ultima ratio]

War may be hell, but not all wars are evil and this one is not. It is just for the same reasons the Second World War was just. The problem is the Pope is too morally blinded to perceive the difference between a murderer like Saddam whose horrendous crimes have been well-documented, and Bush who is determined to disarm this monster.
