Here R2 you said the popes actions were unfortunate. I say there is certainly some unfortunate things about the whole event , least of which is the Popes actions or selection of quotes. Nun shooting should demand more of your attention in compairison is my take.reader (the Second) said:I do think that quoting a "brash" and confrontational medieval emperor was unfortunate.
You're spitting hairs. The popes actions include his quote selection don't they? You are missing my point I guess . I don't care what the pope said. He could have said they are the most dangerous religion known to man and his error would have never justified all the reaction from this bunch of blood thirsty violent society. You are focusing on the Popes actions , which I am not defending. I could care less. Anyone or any religion that slaughters innocent women to prove a point has to be confronted and defeated, NOW! Focus on the real problem R2 . Don't side step and anyalize what the pope said like the media is trying to get you to do. They are afraid G. Bush will make some headway with the voters this fall based on his tough (not tough enough for me) stance on terrorism so they try to down play the terrorism. Can you not see that? Bed time for me.

I did not say his speech was unfortunate. I said that the QUOTE he used was unfortunate. I did not say that the content was unfortunate. If you had read the entire speech and seen the dissonance of that particular quote, you might have understood, if that is within your capability. It was not WHAT he said, it was the use of that particular quote.
Of course the quote is unfortunate. Read any of the analyses of the speech from all perspectives.
