heads of state

There are plenty of heads of state and what not at the funeral. I'm adding this fact to the list of incredible things surrounding the death of JP2. I am again reminded of Fidel Castro and George W. both praising the pope in the same obsequious terms. And here we have them all gathered next to a huge crucifix, listening to words like "Behold the Lamb of God, behold him that takes away the sins of the world!"
