Nick, did the Pope approve of the war on Iraq, or not?

Yes or no.

The Pope sought a nonwar solution to the situation in Iraq. But he never defended Hussein or condemned the U.S. and Britain (which is what you claimed). Now, I think that is a big difference. As a Pope, his job is different than the president of the United States. I can see there might be a time where the pope would try to promote peace, but the president would have to pursue war, if you can understand that. Now, I may have wished the Pope would have made a different statement on Iraq, but that is no reason to actually misrepresent what was actually said!
