Orca! Stop being a A-HOLE! I know its hard for some of you to think down the road a few years, but just think what it would be like if Iraq, Afgan, became flourishing democracies :)) Iran would follow and so on... Such a awful thing to hope for. Instead all you guys do is whine about every bloody thing. Remember Reagan? He was on coarse to destroy the world by the new century :))

<<Did God give the plan to Bush?>> I understand you don't think there's a plan and thats fine. But the ridicule about religion has got to stop IMO. The MSM has now made it popular and acceptable to jeer people about their religious beliefs and thats wrong. I believe that Bush is quite sincere about his faith and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Politicians with far less religious convictions have used faith as a way of getting votes and quieting criticism of their actions for years. Using religion in that manner is a whole lot more objectionable to me than is sincere belief in God. I recall when Clinton messed up Monica's dress he did a photo opp outside a church the next week. For me, it's a whole lot easier to question a cafeteria Christian (those who go in for a scoop of morals when it looks good for TV) than it is to question a guys religion who appears to be a quite sincere, practicing Christian. Now a fair question would be to ask "How can a good Christian conduct a war?" And I don't have the answer for you = thats between Bush and God. But to use his faith in God and religious beliefs as a battering ram as the MSM and so many others have seems a but over the edge and disingenuous to me.
