The pope said the day of fasting on Wednesday would remind people of the long years of suffering endured by Iraqi citizens as a result of the international embargo against the country. Y'know, I try to be a good Catholic. I don't agree with some of the doctrine, but I accept it. I'm no Bible-thumper, but I try to live a decent life according to the rules.
Now I'd just like the Pope to STFU. Please, please, please stay out of international affairs because whatever credibility you might have had 15 years ago, you have flushed down the drain over the last couple of years.
The money Hussein spent on missles, planes, weapons systems, palaces, maintaining his palace guards could have fed the Iraqi people for years. I can understand the pope
wanting peace but his comments are ignorant and pathetic.
