E.D. Hill sounded disappointed when she interviewed the former US Ambassador to the Vatican when he said that no one likes war, when she asked him why the Pope was against the Iraq war. JPII was against the Iraq war, as any sane human being would be, but in the larger scheme of things, he felt it was justified. President Bush didn't want to send America into war with Iraq, but Saddam left President Bush with no other option.
they are working all the wedge issues that they can. i can understand that, but it would have been better to wait a few days than to start that on the day he died.
ED Hill is exposed more and more as a leftist who is not morning worthy. If I want a ditzy leftist blond I will watch katie couric. IOW no morning TV.
They need to replace ED Hill. I find myself watching (shudder) C-Span.
Plus I think the Vatican had to tiptoe around being misinterpreted. Any support by them for war or removing Saddam and Muslims could have taken it to be another "holy war" or "crusade" and it would have inflamed more than just the Muslim extremists (driving the whole thing out of proportion and out of control).
John Paul II has made it known what he thinks of countries that aren't free and dictators who rule people. Not only that, but he lived it for many years of his life.
