    Is Pope Benedict against armed intervention in Iraq?

    A quote caught my eye from a recent article by Tom Heneghan (religion editor for Reuters) entitled "Vatican stresses culture for dialogue with Islam":

    [said Cardinal Poupar, head of dialogue with non-christian religions] "Pope Benedict XVI, like his predecessor John Paul II, never ceases to say this and show it [that US-led wars are attacks by Christian countries on Muslim states] by his acts, such as opposition to armed intervention in Iraq and the nomination of three Asian cardinals at the consistory, a Chinese, a Korean and a Filipino."

    Did I miss something? Did Pope Benedict (and for that matter, John Paul II) ever explicitly oppose armed intervention in Iraq? How about implicitly?
