[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.

Apart from the fact that you do know know what the pope "perceives", consider this analogy: a patient suffers from a cancer; a doctor decides against the will of the patient to cut the cancer out; a third party objects on the ground that the operation will kill the patient. The doctor may be right, but one thing is sure: the patient will be cut open. I happen to be on the side of the actual "doctor,"but I can see that evil consequences may follow, especially when the patient is operated on without painkillers and with dirty instruments.
