Vatican newspaper denounces horrors of 'undeclared war' in Middle East

The Vatican's newspaper on Saturday denounced the horrors of what it called an undeclared war between Israel and Hizbullah in the Middle East, pressing Pope Benedict XVI's campaign for dialogue to resolve the conflict.

"The images of every day which arrive from the martyred Middle East regions are the dramatic testimony of the horrors of an undeclared war, of a recourse to the language of arms which has always shown itself to be inadequate for resolving conflicts," wrote L'Osservatore Romano, the official daily of the Holy See.
