With all due respect, this is b**s***.

Dang, sinky -- for once I agree with CAtholic Family Association and disagree with you! I presume that CAtholic Family Association was referring to the holocaust of abortion, which really has tortured and killed 40 million people in this country. I have to agree with CAFA on this point.
My reading of the Pope's document, however, is that the main failing of the UN was in not preventing the US from attacking Iraq. To the Pope, the US is evidently a rogue nation. The other thing that gave me a queasy feeling was the bit about how we shouldn't confront the terrorists with force, but rather should seek to understand them and the inequities that have caused them to become terrorists.
I would find the document equally as scary if it had been written by Billy Graham.

Yes. The Pope wants us to get at the "root causes" of why terrorists want to kill us. (Hint: It ain't abortion).

The introduction of abortion into the discussion is supposed to draw a moral equivalence between the United States and Saddam Hussein. Don't fall for it.
