Let He Who Has No Sin Throw the First Stone

Pope Benedict XVI, in his new book, professes to be deeply troubled about the accumulation of wealth and the plundering of poor countries by western powers. He specifically says that rich countries mercilessly "plundered and sacked" Africa.

Well Benny, I can think of one rich and powerful nation that fits that description-- and it sits on a 100-acre enclave in the middle of Rome. If you feel so bad about countries who have plundered the culture of Africa, start by returning the Vatican's grand collection of Ancient Egyptian material (valued in the billions) to Cairo.
