Bush's inability to command
without God troubles critics
A new book written by Bob
Woodword has highlighted
how George W. 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

sense of religious calling, and not
even around the mission or goal of
the country," said Robin Lovin, a
Southern Methodist University ethics
professor and former dean of the uni
versity's divinity school. "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."
