Bush must be the only person on the planet who can get Muslims to quote the Pope:

Pope John Paul II will tell U.S. President George W. Bush that he is wrong on Iraq during their envisaged meeting on June 4, a senior Vatican official said Thursday, May 13.

Cardinal Pio Laghi said the pontiff will warn Bush that American forces in Iraq are damaging efforts to bring religions together, and that Washington should have better understand of the Islamic world.

The cardinal also expected the pontiff to tell Bush that his policies in the Middle East in general were not helping the cause of peace.

Referring to revelations this month of torture and humiliating mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers, Laghi asked "how is it possible to remain in Iraq if these abuses continue?"

"We must above all build cultural understanding between peoples and I do not believe that our American friends are doing that," he said.

"Bombing mosques, going into holy places, putting women soldiers in contact with naked men shows a lack of understanding of the Muslim world which I can only call surprising," said the Vatican official.

It seems he is a consensus builder after all.
