Bush has jumbled church and state By William Douglas and Maria Recio Knight Ridder Newspapers (KRT) WASIIINGTON — At a recent news conference and in a new book by Bob Woodword, President Bush conveys a sense that when it comes to foreign policy, he's on a mission from God. "I also have this belief, strong belief, that freedom is not this coun try's gift to the world. Freedom is the Almighty's gift to every man and woman in this world," Bush said dur ing a news conference last week. "And as the greatest power on the face of the Earth, we have an obligation to help spread that freedom." Nearly four years into his presiden cy, Bush's strong Christian beliefs are well known. But through Wood word's book, and the president's own words, Americans are learning how Bush's faith drives his decisions, polit ical and religion experts said. "Clearly what I'm hearing ... is a 018778 Looking for a scholarship to support study or research abroad in 2005-2006?

"But a sense of religious calling for the policies of this president." In "Plan of Attack," Woodword's book, Bush describes praying after giving the go-ahead to launch the war against Iraq. The president told Woodword he wasn't praying to "jus tify war based upon God." "Nevertheless, in my case I pray that I be as good a messenger of his will as possible," Bush told Woodword. The president's revelations have made some uneasy. Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader on Monday called Bush a "Messianic militarist" for mixing religion and policy in his public statements and in terviews about the U.S. role in Iraq. "He's an unsuitable officeholder," Nader said. "Talk about separation of church and state; it's not separated at all in Bush's brain. We want him to make decisions as a secular president." White House officials dismissed Nader's claims. "The president talks about the principle of the separation of church and state and how it is a bedrock cornerstone of our democracy," said Trent Duffy, a White House spokesman. "He does believe that deeply. Having said that, he has a strong personal faith, but he leaves that at the residence before he enters the Oval Office." I he danger of injecting God into the Iraq war, Nader said, is further an gering a Muslim world that already distrusts U.S. policies and motives. "Anybody with a stable approach to this would keep his mouth shut," Nader said. „ Shortly after Sept. 11, Bush angered many in the Muslim world by calling the war on terrorism a "crusade," which they equated to the medieval efforts by Western Christian crusaders to stem the spread of Islam. The White House said the president regretted using the term. But it resur faced last month in a Bush-Cheney campaign letter that praised the presi dent for "leading a global crusade against terrorism." (c) 2004, Knight Ridder/Tribune Information Services.
