Vatican Journal: Oil Drives War Plan
Reuters / R.A.G.U.N.S.

VATICAN CITY -- A Vatican-sanctioned journal Thursday attacked the
United States' justification for a possible war in Iraq, saying it was
motivated by economics and would spark a wave of terrorism and more
trouble in the Middle East.

The views of the Jesuit-run journal Civilta Cattolica are significant
because its articles are approved by the Vatican's Secretariat of
State and reflect Vatican opinion.

The journal suggested that oil was an ulterior motive for a war.

An editorial rebutted the reasons given by the U.S. to justify a
possible war against Iraq and said they were often contradictory.

"One can foresee the destabilization of the entire Middle East because
the more politicized Islamic masses, which already harbor a deep hate
for the West, will see it as an act of war against Islam and against
Arab and Muslim countries," it said.

"The gravest consequence of a war against Iraq, however, would be a
flare-up of terrorism against the United States and against allied
Western countries."

The editorial appeared four days after Pope John Paul II put the
Vatican on a diplomatic collision course with Washington by saying war
would be a "defeat for humanity."

Civilta Cattolica said that while it was "probable" that Iraq had
chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction, "there is no
certain and documented evidence about how much there is and about
Saddam Hussein's ability to use them."
