Iraqi Prime Minister to Visit Benedict XVI
Just another sign that the new, free Iraq is taking its just place in the world:
When Benedict XVI returns from Australia, he will be visited in Castel Gandolfo by the prime minister of Iraq.
Nouri al-Maliki will visit the Pope on July 25, the Holy See reported.
Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Holy Father’s secretary of state, will also meet with the Iraqi leader.
Al-Maliki has been the prime minister in Iraq since 2006. He has repeatedly condemned violence against the Christian minority of his country as an attack on all Iraqis.
I’d say lets start a count down calendar to when the last liberal will finally admit that we’re winning in Iraq…but we might be waiting a long, long time for that…
