I notice he wasn't too much interested when Saddam slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

Nice try, but the Holy Father opposed the war because of his strict adherence to the traditional Catholic principles of Just War Theory. Shalt I begin going down the list of those within the SSPX hierarchy who also opposed it? In fact, the Remnant put together a rather exhaustive list if I recall correctly.

I know of the SSPX stand. In these non-faith matters, nationality counts. The French are the French are the French. And the Pope, being European, sided with the French. The Pope was wrong. So were the French. Bush did the right thing--he deposed an evil man who went on a thirty-year-long killing spree. Bush had the authority, the capability--and the moral right. And he did waged his war with a relatively minimal loss of civilian life. None of the exaggerated consequences the Pope had feared ever transpired. So he was wrong--very wrong--as usual. He is also wrong about the UN, but that's another issue.
