Vatican: Dakar Rally - Bloody, Irresponisble

Reuters is reporting that an editorial in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano is calling the Dakar Rally 'The Bloody Race of Irresponsibility' in response to the death of a motorcyclist during the fourth stage of the race.

The trail of blood which grows longer from year to year on the route of the race instead underscores the undeniable component of violence that lies behind every attempt to export Western models to human environments and ecosystems that have little to do with the West.
