HOLY CARP!!!
well not really.

i was at the wedding of one of our residents last night in jerusalem, and i sat next to a former resident who is currently in the career army, a lt colonel, and serves as the head of military medical services in the west bank, and he was in overall charge for emergency medical evacuation during the pope's visit to bethlehem.

he said that the security people where at an amazing state of nervousnous that anything should happen to his holiness.

he quipped that the overall feeling was that a security mishap would have much more serious consequences then an attempt on the president of the united states.

i said sure, if the president was injured...half the world would be cheering.

with the pope, only a quarter or so would be cheering.
