Italian Commission: Soviet Union Ordered Pope John Paul II's Shooting

It is not suprising that a communist state would attempt to kill the Pope, but I found this news worthy.ROME — An Italian parliamentary commission concluded "beyond any reasonable doubt" that the Soviet Union was behind the 1981 attempt to kill Pope John Paul II — a theory long alleged but never proved, according to a draft report made available Thursday.

The Soviets missed their chance to take the opposition "all the way out"
Johannes Paulus Magnus didn't.

If only the Vatican had control of Nuclear Weapons, Russia was still Communist, and I was the Pope...
Muwhaha.

In our Cherry-blossom existence, your continuing commitment to the "nuclear glaze" is a reassuring touchstone of consistency.

An Eye, for an Eye....well that would surelly blow "turn the other cheek" out of the water
Tom Clancy said this, he even wrote a book about it, one of his better ones.
At any rate the Russians missed, JPG won.

"Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" (also known as the Lex Talionis) principle) actually just means making the punishement fit the crime. "Let his eye be put out who takes the eye of another" and so on. You know, proportionality.
For example, not starting a nuclear war that kills millions over a single assasination...
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
