Why not a faith-based missile defense initiative? Here is more evidence that Bush is trying to turn the US into a Christian nation (and, no, it was never meant to be that way, beginning from the Founding Fathers!). It is so obvious that "faith-based" initiatives are bluntly crossing the line separating Church and State that I'm actually astounded that the ACLU or Americans United for the Separation of Church and State have not already filed lawsuits against it (though they are keeping a close watch). At any rate, as I believe Richard Dawkins once suggested,  if Bush is so convinced that the US is God's chosen nation, why not save billions and start a faith-based missile defense initiative? Or, along similar lines, just pray that we find Osama bin Laden, rather than actually hunt for him? Of course, Bush's prayers to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq have not be answered by the Creator. Could it be that He favors the axis of evil instead? 8:40:44 AM    comment []
