 Why Pray for Evil?

The Pope said that the war was wrong last year.  In my school, we have to pray for President Bush and not the Pope.  We should pray that John Kerry will be President.  Maybe he will stop the war in Iraq. 

I saw pictures of women pretending to shoot Iraqis while they were naked and making them have sex with each other.  That is wrong.  It will make them terrorize and kill our soldiers and our country.  We are doing this to steal their oil.

We should pray that the war stops right now, and that we help the Iraqis to rebuild their country themselves with their own companies with our help.  Please, everyone pray for no more wars and stealing other people's things.
