LOL.... Well isn't thaaat speeeecialll!

The Muslim world overwhelmingly opposes a US invasion. If they are so lathered about his butchering arabs and muslims, then it is their job to throw him out. But they aren't lathered about it, and they actively oppose us eliminating him.

You are mistaken. Sounds as if you are a willing consumer of DNC kool-aide. Time for you to actually do some independent research rather than regurgitate the pablum that the mainstream media feeds you.

Our aircraft shouldn't be over there. The best way to avoid their being shot at is not to attack Iraq, but rather to utilize our military only for protecting America (doesn't it seem strange to you that our military is "absolutely needed" to fly around over Iraq, while our own borders are totally undefended?)

Those aircraft are not attacking Iraq they are defending themselves when Iraq attacks them. Get a clue and stop emoting.

Nations lie all of the time.

As do ignorant posters on FR like yourself.

A bump for the Pope. Ash Wednesday is already a day of fasting and prayer.

Y0ou can NOT be serious that there are no more MIRACLES!!! Miracles happen everyday!! You must not love anyone if you don't believe in miracles. Very sad.

I will fast for Saddam Hussein to disarm himself and his country. That is ALL I'm fasting and praying for.

You said.....I do not like the Catholic "church" (because of what I believe to be teachings wholly antithetical to the teachings of the Bible).

May I ask what denominaton you belong to?

[Ann Archy]

What differences do you perceive between what you believe and what Catholics believe the Bible says in particular??

Pope Calls for Fast Against War in Iraq

I hope that would include fervent prayer that Saddam Hussein has a change of heart, what since he holds the key to averting war at this point. Barring that, that Hussein would suddenly pass over into that great night and save us all a lot of headaches.

But, methinks I hope in vain.

[Terriergal]

I agree with that whole post.

[syriacus]

I wonder if Catholic Senators like Kennedy, Daschle, Leahy, etc., will listen to the Pope on this, even though they ignore his speeches against abortion.

I will pray for peace through victory!
