No protest from religious elites.

Where are the protests to Blairs planned genocide of Iraq.There appears to be no response to this planned violation of internaional law from either the established Church,or any other religiouse elites.

There appears to be no official protest by religious elites to the comming slaughter of innoucent Iraqi men, women and children.Tony Blair , we are led to bielieve, attends Church every Sunday, i wonder if any Priest or Church of England official as challenged him over his planned genocide of the Iraqi people.I find it quite amazing that a practising Christian could even contemplate the illegal atrocities that Blair is planning.
Perhaps as a confirmed atheist i have completely misunderstood the true meaning of the christian message, particularly the alleged sermon on the mount.It appears to me that this message of compassion and forgivness, today as throughout history,should really be interperated as one of vengence and murder.However ,leaving aside Blair and the Church elites, what of the practising Christians who attend Church every Sunday.I see nor hear any massed protest by these christians of the planned genocide.Moreover the head of the Christian church in England is completely silent on this matter as always.Can someone please inform me of any radical official protest by the Church establishment of the murderous intentions of our Christian Prime Minister.
