Pope John Paul II said this afternoon that he could not meet with Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, who is visiting Italy, because of \"time constraints.\" The Pope issued a strong condemnation of all forms of terrorism, however. In contrast with the tense Israel-Vatican relationship, an expression of the positive bonds between Israel and the United States was noted today when U.S. President Bush addressed his nation on the occasion of the 3rd-month anniversary of the World Trade Center and Pentagon bombings - with an Israeli flag figuring prominently in the background.
