Pope Attacks Iran -Ruth GledhillThe Pope hit out at Iran as he pledged to help world Jewish leaders in their fight against anti-Semitism.
Pope Benedict XVI told leaders of the World Jewish Congress that Iran was "an issue of big concern" to him. At a meeting at the Vatican, the Pope spoke of his concern about rising anti-Semitism and described how he wanted to counter the hatred of the Iranian leadership towards the Jewish people and Israel.

For what it is worth, I wish him luck.
It's nice to see a standing Pope express such concern...especially in light of previous historical silence.
Being that radical Islam sees both Christians and Jews as infidels, there is a natural alliance possible. From the evangelical world comes Christians United for Israel; and the last two Popes have made it their business to make moves like this. Interesting and positive...
