[what's up]

Why are you asking for my criteria for what is a just war? That seems off topic. That's what I mean...Catholics speak and speak often, but don't say much.

I supported Bush fully in his actions on the Iraq war. I don't really want to go on an on about the inspections, Saddam's support of terror, the Mid-East power structure, the repression in Iraq,etc.

I am fully in support of Bush. And millions of people in the Middle East and Afganistan are as well.

LOL. You are the one who brought up the subject. You specifically stated that it was a "just war." Now it seems you don't even have the foggiest idea about what is meant by that term.

Catholics speak and speak often, but don't say much.

As I said once before, we use terms that have meanings. It may seem to the outsider that we speak to no effect, but that is simply a matter of not understanding what it is you read.

I know I would never fault the Pope for his personal decision about the justness of a given war and personally have no clue about what criteria are used to make that decision.

(And just for the record, there is no direct evidence that the Pope specifically made such a recogning on this war, just that he viewed all war as a failure of humanity.)

And just for the record, I supported the war as just, and I know why. And if the Pope opposed it, that's OK. He is not incapable of error on matters of geopolitics.
