Jahed,
If there is one hypocrite in this whole exercise of speaking about
Iraq it is Benedict at the Vatican. His remarks have come only after
the abduction of Archbishop Rahho and he was not concerned about what
was happening in Iraq until recently. Indeed, in news that the US and
British emdia have been content to hide because it would be
politically incorrect for them to give vent to it, the fact is that
Catholic terrorist groups have been seen in Iraq assisting the Shia
militias with whom they have had alliances in the past when they were
financed by Iran.
The British Blackwatch regiment which had earlier served in Ireland
was sent in to Iraq just before the assault on Fallujah and that
brought the Irish (former IRA) men in to train the Shias who were
wary that this regiment would be sent against them after it finished
with the Sunnis in Fallujah. On the first day, three of the Black
Watch's men were killed in a suicide attack and constant, later
pressure against them in Basra where they were redeployed, made the
British withdraw them altogether as the Brits were terrified that one
of their crack regiments was gradually being ground down especially
with the highly advanced new improvised explosives that the Irish
taught the Shia militias to make. Also several large caches of arms
were intercepted from Croatia, another redoubt of Catholic
fundamentalism in the world, in Italy on their way to Iraq and
Benedict kept his mouth shut. His sudden, newfound loquaciousness on
the war in Iraq is only because the chickens have now finally started
coming home to roost and Catholics are being targeted in Iraq.
There are enough secular reasons to oppose the war, as well as views
from human rights' perspectives. The views of a man who is a cynical
bigot and a recalcitrant former Nazi do not need to be looked at for
anything other than the hypocrisy that they embody.
