wishing for world peace

 So the headlines are hyperventillating about the new Pope's recent sermon:


Pope Leo XIV appeals for 'no more war' in first Sunday message,,,Tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square and on the Via della Conciliazione leading to the Vatican broke into applause at the call for peace on what was a joyous occasion despite Leo's solemn message

yup. Reminds me of this:


.... one of the things Pope Francis did that annoyed the Trads was his outreach to moderate Muslim leaders. Trumpiboy is doing the same thing with his Abraham accords, including his recent moves to delink American policy from   the aggressive Israeli war  e.g. telling the Houthis he wouldn't bomb them since they agreed not to bomb ships... (alas they bombed Israel instead, and whoops: FAFO...) 

So Gracie is right: You need law and order to stop the bad guys before you pretend wishing for world peace will work.
