Letter: Hawks insult everyone but the pontiff

Monday, Feb. 17, 2003 | 9:19 a.m.

Based upon the latest propaganda from the White House and its right-wing supporters of war over peace, it looks as though we are going to war. Peaceful diplomacy be damned.

I find it extremely interesting that some Bush right-wingers like Bob Novak, Andrew Sullivan and Bill Bennett (all Catholic, I believe) have not blasted the pope and the Catholic bishops, while implying that all other citizens who oppose the war are "Saddam allies."

Perhaps, when it comes to the war cowboys going to war, these people choose to ignore their pope, the vicar of Christ on earth, and his apostles, the bishops.

The body bags are coming, folks.
