French bishops speak out against military action against Iraq (EXCERPT) Tue Oct 15, 8:59 AM ET PARIS – France’s Roman Catholic bishops said Tuesday that a military strike against Iraq is not justified, and warned that a clash could widen the gulf between the West and the Arab world and strengthen radical Islam. "War cannot be considered as a means among others to be chosen in function of… interests and opportunities," said a statement from the Conference of Bishops of France. The bishops said that the decision to go to war is so grave that it can only be taken as a final resort and only if strict conditions are met. Based on what is known today, such conditions do not exist, the bishops said. The United States accuses Iraq of building weapons of mass destruction and harboring terrorists and demands that Baghdad accept the unconditional return of U.N. weapons inspectors or face the possibility of military action. If the Iraqi regime constitutes a real threat, "should we not try to put in place all the means other than military to avoid it?" the bishops asked. "A confrontation between an Arab nation and the United States would strengthen the arguments of radical Islamic ideologues," the statement added, "and increase hostility toward the West… and its values of democracy and tolerance." The statement said that war would only "widen the gulf between our peoples and those of the region." The Vatican (news – web sites) has also spoken out against military action against Iraq and said that a pre-emptive strike raised serious ethical and legal problems. France has argued that war should be a last resort and has urged the United States to wait until the inspectors have a chance to do their job before threatening war. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20021015/ap_wo_en_p… Otis Willie Associate Librarian The American War Library http://www.americanwarlibrary.com
