George W. Bush: War criminal?

Is Pope John Paul II telling the world that if President George W.
Bush goes ahead with his plans to invade Iraq without United
Nations sanctions, the Catholic Church will consider Bush a war
criminal?

“A war would be a defeat for humanity and would be neither morally
nor legally justified,” the Pope told Bush in a papal message
delivered last week by a special envoy. “It is an unjust war.”
This leads even conservatives like John McLaughlin, host of the
syndicated McLaughlin Group and a longtime supporter of both
conservative and Republican causes, to have second thoughts.
“The Pope is saying an invasion of Iraq would be criminal,” says
McLaughlin, who is also a former Jesuit priest. “A statement that
strong cannot be ignored.”
