 Pope Calls For End to Iran CrisisPosted on Apr 17, 2006
The pontiff used his first Easter message to ask for “an honorable solution” via “honest and serious negotiations.” He also affirmed Israel’s right to exist. Somehow we suspect those wishes won’t have much of an impact on the Holocaust-denying president of Iran.

Fortunately, papal rhetorical pap has all the impact and influence on most of the world as a fart in a windstorm.
It is completely beyond my comprehension how what this feckless fraud has to say about anything makes it live to 50 countries and 100,000 in the square. I must have been born either in the wrong age or on the wrong planet because I sure seem to be in a tiny minority with my views on religion and religious leaders. Oh well.

It’s pretty funny when the Roman Church, the most evil institution in history after the Nazi SS, tells everyone what to do.

The president of Iran is guilty of PR missteps and more, but being illogical about the nuclear issue is not one of them.
Considering that he heads a country which is surrounded on three sides by the most awesome military the world has ever known, whose commander is proven to be trigger happy, and all too covetous of its oil, and allied with another nuclear power in your neighborhood (Israel) which is his sworn enemy, the nuclear option is, unfortunately, a very logical option indeed.

Good for him. Maybe he’s trying to make up for his indirect comments against gays.
