Religious war

After reading the news earlier today. Sadly Archbishop of Mosul Basile Georges Casmoussa was kidnapped.

(Last month the Vatican's foreign minister warned that anti-Christian feeling was spreading in Iraq and other Muslim countries because the war on terrorism was seen as linked to Western political strategy.

Archbishop Giovanni Lajolo, the Vatican's second-ranking diplomat, said anti-Christian feeling existed where political strategies of Western countries were believed to be driven by Christianity.)


It occurred to me that this mess in Iraq is now a religious war. Christians (AKA American liberators) versus the Muslims (AKA terrorist) Who will win? I say no one, for we are all losers in this venture. And for that we can thank our esteemed leader.

Quote of the day

"Today, Iraqis are liberated people. The former regime is gone, and our nation and the world is more secure."
