warned of a clash of civilizations

This Pope has the right perspective unlike most of the world's leaders.

"Its causes are many and complex, not least those to do with political ideology, combined with aberrant religious ideas. Terrorism does not hesitate to strike defenseless people, without discrimination, or to impose inhuman blackmail, causing panic among entire populations, in order to force political leaders to support the designs of the terrorists,"


Benedict gets it right!
"Not the least to do with political ideology"
Right he is! Its a Murderous Ideology!

A clash of civilizations assumes that both sides are civilized. He should rethink that appraisal.

There will be peace between Isreal and Palestine when hell freezes over. Not before. I think Pope Benedict knows that already.
The Israelis have everything to lose and the Palestinians have nothing to lose. Their war, started in 1948, will end with the end of time. God will have to end it.

But it' a good thing for Pope Benedict to remind the rest of us about the futility of war and the generational hatred, acrimony, bigotry and death that wars like these generate. I pray especially for their children. What an awful legacy to inherit.
