There are two reasons I am more concerned about Bush's evil than bin Laden's
The first is: IMO Bush is much more dangerous. bin Laden doesn't have the world's most powerful army, and a huge group of secret spies, at his disposal.
The second is a well recognize moral principle. CLEAN YOUR OWN HOUSE FIRST. Jesus said it in the parable of the dust mote and the plank. Take the plank out of your own eye so you can see to take the speck of dust out of your brother's.
My primary responsibility lies with the way MY nation and MY government behaves. I believe our security would be better served if more of our policies were based on this principle. It's a shame that this basic moral principle is so unknown in conservative circles.
