I imagine that is not the real problem the author of the article has with Bush.<br /><br />Our current foreign policy and domestic policy (or lack therof of the latter) has religious beliefs at its core. In recent times, arguably more recent than FDR or Lincoln, the role of money and social agenda setting by people of certain strong relgious beliefs (read evangelical Christians) have more influence in the shaping of our policies than is warranted by our Constitution. After all, invoking "our" God to fight a (misguided) war against other extremists is rather ironic, isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152270.post-1089920708632847042004-07-15T14:45:00.000-05:002004-07-15T14:45:00.000-05:00Wonderful.
