Catholic Priest Abducted in Iraq
2005-01-17
EFL
Gunmen kidnapped the head of the Catholic Christian community in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Monday as he was walking in front of his church, a priest said.

The gunmen forced Bishop Gorgis into a car and drove away, the priest said on condition of anonymity. The bishop was walking in front of the Al-Bishara church in Mosul's eastern neighborhood of Muhandeseen when he was abducted.

The reason for the kidnapping was unclear, but Christians - tens of thousands of whom live in and around Mosul - have been subjected to attacks in the past.
The reason for the kidnapping was unclear? Uhm, er, ah, ...WOW!!!

#6  Unfortunately, the answer is talk the talk ...

Mark Z. -- you get could "walk the walk," but that'd require a good bit of continent-wide homicide and forced conversions to get the Vatican up to *ahem* military par ... by which I mean 75% GDP expenditures on "defense." :P

#3  talk the talk.

They'll deplore it as terrorism and then do nothing else. The Italians might have a rally or protest march at the vatican to demonstrate their support. That'll show those bad guys.

#2  So John Paul, just how many divisions do you have?

Does the Vactican walk the walk or just talk the talk?
