Johannes, has it EVER occurred to you that the actions of your government and its garbage agencies may provoke people into taking desperate measures?

I don't give a rip what my government does, there is just no excuse for slaughtering innocent folks who had nothing to do with their government's alleged actions. Heck, most Americans don't even know about government as they don't even vote.

You are trying to make excuses for islamic evil. Very well then. Islam has long been crusin' for a brusin'. If you are gonna excuse folks for murdering innocent people on the basis of desperation, then perhaps you will have quite a lot of excusing to do in the future.

What actions by the Vatican have made the Islamists so desperate they wanted to kill the Pope?

LONDON (AP) - A top al-Qaida official suspected of having planned the Sept. 11 terror attacks also plotted to kill Pope John Paul (news - web sites) II during a trip to the Philippines in 1999, a British newspaper reported Sunday.

Quoting documents from Philippines intelligence services, The Sunday Times said Osama Bin Laden (news - web sites)'s lieutenant, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, planned on killing the pope with a pipe bomb planted in a park where John Paul was to speak, or if that failed, with high-velocity rifles equipped with laser scopes.

The plot was aborted when the pope's visit was canceled, the newspaper said.
