#1 Less and less in the West these days -- thanks to the insidious doctrine of moral equivalence -- do we seem capable of unequivocally condemning evil

Depends on the interpretation of evil.

#4 Understandably, the Vatican denounced Saddam's execution as "tragic" and while we don't agree, we respect that the Vatican is coming at this from deeply held and consistent religious beliefs which hold all life sacred.

The Vatican does not get a pass on this (let alone whatever the Archdruid of Canterbury might have lisped on the subject). Instead of berating Israel and offering simpering apologies as nuns are shot in the back, this supposed hard-line Pope should call for a Crusade. That institution was also grounded in deeply held and consistent religious belief.

#7 IT'S NOT !

From personal experience, life isn't 'sacred' to most people in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Congrats, wxjames. You have something in common with Arabs.

I thought the 'Archdruid' of Canterbury was Anglican.
