There has to be something special about a guy,who upon his passing, is praised by George Bush and Fidel Castro; Ariel Sharon and Hamas; and India and Pakistan and yet never shrunk from expressing what he thought was right. In an age of cynicism, secularism, materialism and despair, here was a real hero. Rest in Peace, John Pablo.

Yes Norky! You are most correct. PJPII will be named as a saint I'm sure in the near future, maybe even in our lifetime. His title is already being re-written in the books as Pope John Paul the Great. I was 16 years old when he was elected!

PJPII was known as the "pontif of peace"
George Bush Jr. Refers to himself as "the president of war" (Farenheit 9/11footage)

I fear now the peacemaker has passed, the door widens for the president of war!

God help us all!

You're the first person I've seen quote the fantasy world documentary farenhiet 9/11 and actually seem to mean it...

Well said Nork.

And before this thread gets derailed... I'll point Norky to the other thread about John Paul II: http://supra.planetthinktanks2.com/archives/comm-thread.asp?thread=7574&forum=4

And for those who want to debate about micheal moore, there is a thread about that somewhere, you'll have to dig for it...
