Stuff below the fold

Want to read a short history of modern Iraq? LINK
short excerpt: Iraqis know they have problems with religion, tribalism and corruption. Iraqis know what they are up against. Do you?

Father Z notes a recent letter by the pope, complaining:

At times one gets the impression that our society needs to have at least one group to which no tolerance may be shown; which one can easily attack and hate. And should someone dare to approach them – in this case the Pope – he too loses any right to tolerance; he too can be treated hatefully, without misgiving or restraint.

one sees the same pope-bashing about condoms in Africa...BBC article almost gets it right...
it's not the condoms per se, it's the promiscuity approval that goes along with "condom promotion" that is the real danger.
