Vatican condemns Israel for attacks on Lebanon

A few things bother me about this one. The Holy See condemned the terrorist attacks and the military response but the condemnation of the terror attacks is barely mentioned. Why?

Second, what precisely does the Holy See propose that Israel do? Simply endure hundreds and hundreds of rocket attacks until they either get bored or run out of ammo?

War is a scourge but pacifism in the face of tyranny is objectively evil.

No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
