French MP urges Pope to become Iraq human shield

PARIS, March 17 (Reuters) - The only way left to avoid war in Iraq is for Pope John Paul to rush to Baghdad to be "the protector of humanity's values," a French parliamentary deputy said on Monday.

Didier Julia, a maverick conservative who has visited Iraq twice in the past six months, noted the pope would be a suitable "human shield" because he has spoken out forcefully against war.

"Right now, only one thing seems useful to me now, and that's that the pope goes at the last minute to block aggression against Iraq," he told France's i-television.

"I would really like the pope to serve as the protector of humanity's values," he said.

The pope issued a passionate plea for peace on Sunday, saying he had lived through World War Two and felt obliged to tell the world: "Never again war."

What a very French notion that the Pope should risk his life to protect the values of humanity like Saddam and his clan.

THIS IS REALLY RICH, OFFERING UP THE POPE TO BE A HUMAN SHIELD IN IRAQ. *I THINK A MUCH BETTER IDEA WOULD BE TO OFFER UP SENIOR FRENCH OFFICIALS TO BE HUMAN SHIELDS. *FAT CHANCE OF THIS EVER HAPPENING. *THE FRENCH ALWAYS WANT SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO THEIR DIRTY WORK. *WHAT GALL!!!!! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif What gall is right! We can really see what to expect from the French from now on. We can always hope that Eritrea attacks them. Then we can sit back and root for Eritrea. Of course I don't think they would want France. Just look at what they would have to put up with.

Le Worm and his people really have issues. The pope should died but we wont. The pope should die for a evil man come on france,ever le worm can come up with something better than that.

True, but if the Pope DOES go and offer himself as a human shield, causing the US to back down from "National Duties" to save his live would be a definate "Violation of Church and State".

We'd have to kill him to protect our soverignty. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rofl.gif

I think that Margarat Thatcher should take her cane in hand, go to France and beat he[[ out of Ditsey Julia.

P.S. Is he any relation to the Ditsey Chicks?
