Let us pray that God speaks to Bush

IN declaring his wars on terror, the Taliban, Saddam Hussein, the French, the Germans, the UN and the Democrats, George W. Bush started saying "God" once, twice, even thrice in every sentence.

A case in point: this extract from Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack. Describing the hour when he'd given the order for the ground forces to enter Iraq, Bush said: "It was emotional for me. I prayed as I walked around the circle. I prayed that our troops would be safe, be protected by the Almighty, that there'd be a minimal loss of life . . . Going into this period I was praying for strength to do the Lord's will . . . I'm surely not going to justify the war based on God . . . Nevertheless, in my case I pray I will be as good a messenger of his will as possible."

Replace God, the Almighty and the Lord with Allah, and Bush's dangerous devotions would be appropriate to an Islamic fundamentalist. We are reminded how ill advised it is to mix religion with politics. Yet again the case is made for the separation of church (and mosque and synagogue) from state. We also remember that, just after September 11, Bush used the term crusade to describe his overlapping wars. The ill-chosen but accurate expression confirmed the worst fears of the Islamic world and had to be explained away by spin doctors.

Let us pray that God speaks to Bush immediately – and tells him to calm down. A great many Christians would say amen to that.
