Noma, you underestimate the intelligence of the people here. What you don't say reveals far more than anything you ever could say.

Julian, you're waffling, dear.

This whole sad event has been blown up out of proportion by the liberal media, followig their own agenda.

The man who took the picture also took a number of others at the scene. He deplored the fact that the world's press selected that particular one to get their own message over.

If you read French, you can check this link, I have not found another link yet.

Alessandro Garofalo, 30 ans, qui travaille pour le journal de Naples Il Mattino. "Sur les photos qui ont été choisies par les journaux du monde entier, on ne voit que des personnes indifférentes", déplore-t-il.

Alesanadro Garofalo, 30 yrs old, who works for the Naples newspaper Il Mattino, deplored the fact that the photos chosen by the entire world press only showed people who were indifferent (disinterested).

At least, you must listen to him.

The cardinal was also fooled, although I am sure he meant well..

One carefully selected photgraph is worth a thousand words. Don't EVER, EVER believe everything you read in a newspaper.
