Speechless

The absolute absurdity of the following statement is sheerly stunning.

"I base a lot of my foreign policy decisions on some things that I think are true. One, I believe there's an Almighty. And, secondly, I believe one of the great gifts of the Almighty is the desire in everybody's soul, regardless of what you look like or where you live, to be free." - George Bush, last week.

Our foreign policy is not based on facts, realities, or verifiable information.

Ahem. .....

Mr. Packer said it best, I think:

"It seems that unless God himself gains entry to the West Wing and informs the President that the Iraqis' desire to be free is not the issue, a grandiose theology will continue to doom America and Iraq to a bloody stalemate."

Hell in a handbasket, hell in a handbasket. A handbasket made out of corn sprayed by petrol fertilizer.*

(Everyone immediately read this book. One of the most important books to read, as it lays out many of the truisms behind issues that are eminently pressing, relevent, and fundamental in our contemporary culture.)

*See page 10, here, then buy and read the book.

More on the excellence and importance of Pollan's book later.
