Pope Benedict XVI, successor to the popes who have organized the Crusades to murder Muslims – and Jews – in the Holy Land, and George W. Bush, who continues to murder Muslims in Iraq, met up for a cozy half an hour chat at the Vatican. For the Catholics, the Pope is the representative of God on earth. How could this “Holy Father” shake the hand of a war criminal and mass murderer? And if God is looking on, how could he refrain from “pulverizing” those two?
According to some reports, (CNN: Bush calls meeting pope a 'moving experience') the Pope reproached Bush for the Iraq mess and Bush stood “in awe” before the Pope, whom he addressed with the rather unholy “sir”. What's the use of this meeting? Bush does not recognize the Pope as the head of his religion, since he belongs to a Protestant sect. And the Pope was unable to stop the bloodshed in Iraq. Just another meaningless photo-op.
Bush said the Pope was a “a very smart, loving man”. Loving to whom? To Bush or to the Iraqi people? You can't be loving both...
If the Pope wants to be remotely useful, he could have told Bush that God doesn't like his Iraq War and he would go straight to Hell if he wouldn't recall his troops immediately. Obviously the Pope didn't do that. Shame on him.
