As John Paul II's right hand man, in charge of enforcing the
conservative papal policy, Cardinal Ratzinger earned an unfortunate
nickname from his more progressive peers: the "Panzer Cardinal".  Like
the tank.  Pope Benedict XVI, now 78, had his own brush with warfare as
a young boy growing up in Nazi Germany.  


      * At age, 14 membership in Germany's "Hitler Youth" became
        mandatory. So Joseph Ratzinger enrolled 
      * He managed to get out early so he could study for the
        priesthood. 
      * Two years later, when he was 16, Ratzinger was drafted again by
        the German Army. 
      * Ratzinger worked as a helper in an anti-aircraft briagde. 
      * In 1945, he was put through basic training and stationed near
        his hometown in Bavaria. 
      * When Allied forces advanced, he deserted the German army —
        risking death by that act alone. 
      * After he escaped, Ratzinger was captured by American soldiers
        and spent the remainder of the war in a POW camp.

ANTI-MOSLEM PROPGANDA ON THE RISE
Since 9-11-2001, we have seen anti-Moslem feelings rise immensely.
Today, Moslems suffer the brunt of sick jokes and racist remarks, as
well as violent actions. The general public in the U.S. is becoming much
better at a trait in which it leads the world: xenophobia. A day doesn't
go by that is free of anti-Moslem statements, whether in a joke or in a
speech of a politician.

The unmistakable whiff of Christian triumphalism
This was no casual slip. Beneath his scholarly rhetoric, the Pope's
logic seemed to be that Islam is dangerous and godless. John Paul II's
pontificate was largely defined by his relationship with a global
conflict between west and east. Last Tuesday evening, in a badly judged
speech before a home crowd of Bavarian academics, Benedict XVI may well
have set the parameters of his own period as Pope, pitching himself into
a debate over Islam that has prompted outrage throughout the Muslim
world.
