Why do you continue to deny the truth with your lying revisionist history. In fact thanks to Vatican help, 700,000 Jews were saved.: "During the second world war, Pope Pius XII was lauded for his singular efforts to halt the carnage, writes Newsweek’s Kenneth Woodward. And for years after, he was praised for the church's efforts in saving an estimated 700,000 Jews from the Nazi death camps — mainly by issuing false baptismal certificates to Jews, disguising some in cassocks and hiding others in cloistered monasteries and convents. Recently, however, a neat bit of revisionist history is now blaming the wartime pope for failing to stop the Holocaust from the Vatican. In choosing diplomacy over protest Pius XII had his priorities straight, concludes Woodward. It's time to lay off this pope. " catholiceducation.org

Albert, perhaps the whole discussion relative to blaming Israel for this war is better understood in the sense that this particular element is only a part to what's overall going on. It is, by no means, the whole issue. This war has to do with: * Bush wins 2004, and in congressional elections, because he and his party will become known as the one who took Saddam down. * The presence of this war, and the war on Afghanastan, as well as 9/11, together have effectively served to keep how Bush got [s]elected president off the news pages. * This war very well cloaks the bad and worsening economy now plaguing America. * Those who are oil-greased and corporately connected with the Bush Administration come out golden, what with control over the world's primary oil supply and the contracts that'll be issued for rebuilding Iraq's infrastructure. * Israel makes out due to decreased interference from Iraq. This war has nothing to do with: * Threats to US national security. * Threats to the national security of Iraq's neighboring nations. * Weapons of mass destruction. * Morality of liberating the Iraqi people. * Building democracies throughout the Middle East.
