The Pope's Funeral

The Pope's funeral brought together many ex and current world leaders: George Bush senior and Dubya. Highly placed individuals too: Prince Charles and many others. A target for terrorism all of them and not a single mention of the possibility. And everything went off swimmingly well.

It would have been terribly inconvenient for something to have happened and so it didn't. Isn't it odd? And is it not strange that no commentator mentioned this obvious observation?
