the idea that attacking a regime that just slaughtered 50,000 of it's own people is immoral speaks deeply to the pope's broken moral compass, and probably also to his latent anti-semitism. he's just about the last person i'd want to consult for moral clarity.

in fact, i would expect the pope to get along splendidly with the mullahs, although i wouldn't want the mullahs to give the pope any bad ideas and would want to scurry him along.

i don't know why they don't just get rid of the sonofabitch. what's the point? let him blather away in a shack in tuscany.
