Do good to those that hate you??

Interesting to see the Pope wading in to the Iraq business saying that the use of force is justifiable. Always been a bit of a problem for Christians - the religion is based on the teachings of Jesus - love your enemies, turn the other cheek and so on, so how can you justify going to war and killing people? I think it was Pope Urban the something-or-other back around the first millennium who made the switch and came up with the concept of "holy war" with automatic absolution for those taking part and which led directly to the Crusades. Since when, of course, the teachings of Jesus - at least as far as this aspect is concerned - have gone right out of the window.
