Bush wears his Christianity on his sleeve and talks as if his war is a holy into it and assumes it somehow makes him more "moral." Please consider that much of the rest of the world considers him to be a war criminal. Ask the tens of thousands of innocent maimed and killed Iraqi men women and children about Bush's sense of morality, and explain to them why they had to suffer because 9 or 10 arabs who had no known connection Iraq or to Saddam decided to blow up the world trade center. Does the Biblical eye for an eye mean we can injure or kill tens of thousands of Afghanis and Iraqis to avenge the 3000 killed on 9/11?
And how does the "moral" right justify the layers and layers of lies and influence peddling that have been the hallmark of this administration. And we haven't even begun to talk about the massive human rights violations against people held for months without access to counsel and without any charges being leveled against them?
Do you realize that for all of our bluster, and the massive resources of our government, we haven't successfully prosecuted a single "terrorist" of any import?
Bush has managed to make the US look as noble as any number of 2 bit repressive banana republics, but I guess that's supposed to be ok because he has God on his side.
