This is what the UN, our peaceniks, France, Germany,Russia and the Vatican would like to see left unchallenged.

And the US too, apparently.

Remember when Saddam was the "not so bad" bad guy, who we supported and armed against the "bad" bad guy, Iran? Well apparently now, Saddam is the "bad" bad guy and Iran is the "not so bad" bad guy. Confusing isn't it?

We had the opportuinity to eliminate this punk 12 years ago and we turned our back on it. Now he's really evil and has to go. Maybe he's worse now than when we supported him. Yeah, that's it. He was a good guy and it all went wrong.

Still, it's good to be able to bash the Vatican for our problems, isn't it? This is all their fault, of course.

Just as well morality is not what American policy happens to be at any particular point in time. We'd all get confused real quick, wouldn't we?

Sorry, in your blind zeal and in your lust for a cheap shot, you have gotten the facts wrong. The Vatican has repeatedly urged Iraq to comply with UN demands and to conduct its affairs in a humane fashion.

Its a matter of how to challenge this. The Vatican urged a peaceful challenge. You hate that fact. So you demonize.

Leave the Vatican out of it,if you're going to leave the National Council of Churches out of it.It's a cheap,anti-Catholic shot.
