George Bush's global holy war threatens our Presidency—and perhaps the future of our nation villagevoice.com <<...Many presidents have invoked God in speeches and policy decisions, especially during times of war when soldiers were dying for country. And most presidents have told lies of various kinds during their tenures. But I know of no president, certainly no modern president, who said he was acting in God's name while telling lies in order to prod the country into a war against an adversary that, though a vile dictatorship, was no real threat to our security—and had no significant link to the bin Laden forces that attacked us in 2001. Bob Woodward, the chronicler of official Washington, whose new book, Plan of Attack, is out this week, writes that Bush told him in an interview that during the buildup to the war, "I was praying for strength to do the Lord's will. . . . I'm surely not going to justify war based on God. Understand that. Nevertheless, in my case, I pray that I be as good a messenger of His will as possible." At another point, asked whether he consulted his father about going to war, the book quotes the president saying: "There is a higher father that I appeal to." In a television appearance, Woodward said that the president's global plans are so far-reaching and ambitious that they will cause many people to "tremble."

I certainly hope you are correct. I do not feel obligated to offer my 18 year old son as a sacrifice to Bush's so called religious prophesy................Bush is a madman and I would hope that parents across this land will unite in protest to Bush's insanity. Bush has destabilized the world. Perhaps he thinks he will play a part in the Biblical prophesy of Armagedeon(sp?) by causing the world to destroy itself. He might even think it is his duty to accomplish certain steps. Bush's recent words as quoted by Woodward should alarm every citizen. I refuse to risk losing my son to satisfy the whims of a madman and a fool. Bush talks of sacrifice...he is laughable if he thinks I am fool enough to believe that it is a good thing to wrap the flag around myself and send my son off to die in a foreign land for reasons no one has figured out yet.
