>>>sounds a lot like McKinley, also a Methodist, who was bound and determined to make Filipinos love the American way even if he had to kill half of them to get to that goal (and they tried, in his day, just that tactic). <<< I have been thinking repeatedly of the Phillipine insurrection as a precursor of Iraq, though I certainly didn't pin it on Methodists. This assurance that one knows what is best for everyone because God has spoken to you about it is characteristic of the Protestant mentality in general, but on the whole it seems better than the Jewish view of a favored people and far better than Islam. Too bad polytheism is out of favor (except that to some extent Catholics are polytheists). If you figure, well, THEIR gods are telling them to do that and OUR gods are telling us to do this, it seems to me you are apt to be more tolerant of one another. But alas! No one builds temples to Venus any more--not even Bill Clinton.
