"This mixing of Crusades-like messaging with war imagery, which until now has not been revealed, had become routine. On March 31, a U.S. tank roared through the desert beneath a quote from Ephesians: "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." On April 7, Saddam Hussein struck a dictatorial pose, under this passage from the First Epistle of Peter: "It is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men."The BA goes beyond, beyond with Rummy as Christian cheerleader for Bush and Cheney. Even though I am an atheist, I thank god Bushworld (("It's their reality. We just live and die in it.") is gone even though the stench of same will take decades to overcome.
"Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance." - H. L. Mencken
