The Vatican did not consider the war in Iraq "a just war" because it was not backed by the United Nations and because the Vatican believed more negotiations were necessary to avoid it.

 
The pope said it was necessary for states to avoid the "temptation to appeal to the law of force rather than to the force of law."

"The scourge of terrorism has become more virulent in recent years and has produced brutal massacres which have in turn put even greater obstacles in the way of dialogue and negotiation ..." he wrote.

Combating terrorism "cannot justify a renunciation of the principles of the rule of law," he wrote, adding that political decisions must take into consideration fundamental human rights.

Buy a copy of AVVENIRE, let somebody in Little Italy translate it for you, then we can have a discussion. Peace.

Lincoln:
God bless the Pope. I really respect him.

Paradox:
News just in... The Pope has been added to the Axis of Evil...
