Their &#8220;dangerous alliance&#8221; is already on shaky grounds with<br \/>\ntheir attempt to end the fighting in Syria facing major obstacles.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=77247\">https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=77247<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps The Pontiff would be better served cleansing his own house which<br \/>\nseems to some observers to be dominated by pedophiles! Instead he has<br \/>\nturned the Vatican&#8217;s spotlight on their peace efforts without providing a viable<br \/>\nalternative of his own.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, his views on Man Made Global Warming and Climate Change<br \/>\nremain highly controversial. With evidence pointing to manipulated data<br \/>\nby grant-seeking scientists and a theoretical foundation fostered by alleged<br \/>\neugenicist Hans Schellnhuber, his claims to political expertise leave much<br \/>\nto be desired and seem dubious at best.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/rockwallconservative.me\/tag\/hans-schellnhuber\/\">http:\/\/rockwallconservative.me\/tag\/hans-schellnhuber\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While one can applaud his concern for the plight of the immigrants, one<br \/>\nwould prefer he focus on the cause of the crisis: wars by the West based<br \/>\non lies that resemble the Crusades. Much wealth from the Levant was<br \/>\nplundered then as the oil riches of today are consumed by modern invaders.<br \/>\nSurely Francis realizes that the quickest way to help the displaced is to stop<br \/>\nthe wars that have led them to flee their homeland.<\/p>\n<p>His heart might be in the right place but we all know that good intentions can<br \/>\ncause huge problems. Just ask the Neocons and advocates of humanitarian<br \/>\nintervention how things are going in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq and Syria after<br \/>\nmore than 15 years of fighting, countless deaths and an estimated cost of<br \/>\n$6 Trillion to American taxpayers that has been wasted on these war.<\/p>\n<p>The Pope&#8217;s remarks are not as mindless as the actions of those rioting anarchists<br \/>\nin Hamburg. But he needs to step back a little and give these imperfect and<br \/>\nbeleaguered men a chance to make progress during these perilous times.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/tech\/republicans-blast-trump-idea-cyber-security-unit-russia-144728843.html\">http:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/tech\/republicans-blast-trump-idea-cyber-security-unit-russia-144728843.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I invite the Pope to stick to religion for a while while leaving the difficult matters of<br \/>\npolicy to the politicians.
