The first lesson of Iraq: Beware of those who play dice with God.
  • Religion too late

    It's fairly well documented that Bush found Jesus in the bottom of a bottle or an empty vial when he was about 40. Before that he just didn't devote any of his limited understanding of the world to matters of the spirit. So when he took his save-my-marriage-please crash-course in religion, his mental/spiritual development was simply too far down the track of his life for his new-found faith to really make much of a difference. Certainly it didn't change his native arrogance and sense of entitlement. Whether it's sincere and heart-felt is irrelevant. What matters is that he is even more shallow in spiritual understanding than he is in geopolitics. It seems to be the former, not the latter, that guides him. And we have enabled him. What a great movie this will make 30 years from.
