42. What's the Dalai Lama done to actually stop the war?

Or the Archbishop of Canterbury? They both speak for peace, as does Pope John Paul II, but none of them have the power to stop wars.

What are the Methodists, the Presbyterians, the United Church of Christ, the Unitarians, the Quakers, doing to stop war? Some speak out, some don't. Speaking out is better than doing nothing but religious leaders can't stop political leaders from their misguided paths.

The head of the Methodist Church in the US told Bush** -- who is a Methodist -- not to go to war against Iraq. The Archbishop of Canterbury -- and Bush** was raised an Episcopalian, essentially an Anglican -- told him not to invade Iraq. Pope John Paul II told him not to invade Iraq, that he would "go without God" if he did.

Maybe Bush** would have listened to Billy Graham. Go get on Billy Graham's case for supporting this evil war.
