#1 "See, see, Imam! The Christians say it is immoral to attack Iraq."
"But, are the Christians not infidels, and enemies of the True Faith? Does the Koran not teach that we are to reject their lies?"
"By Allah, you're right! We must reject the Christians' teachings! Therefore, it is the duty of all good Moslems to immediately attack Iraq. Logic compels it. Q.E.D."

#2 The text of the petition can be found here. Interesting that this "Christian" group quotes the UN charter a lot and the Bible not at all.

#4 My fave part of the "Pax Christi" statement:

"An attack on Iraq would be both immoral and illegal. Eradicating the dangers posed by malevolent dictators and terrorists can be achieved only by tackling the root causes of the disputes themselves."

I've got news for these folk: the root cause of malevolent dictators is that they are *malevolent dictators*! What was the root cause of Pol Pot, Stalin or Idi Amin? Meglomaniacal mass murderers don't need any cause other than the fact that they are alive and kicking (ass)!
