Author Bruce Feller says that, in a private conversation, President George Bush told him that he does not believe that the US is a Christian nation, and that he does believe that the strength of the US and its values is in its multiculturalism and tolerance.
This is, of course, true, and I would be greatly comforted if there were any evidence from any of his actions that he believed this.
“Walking the Bible”, Feller’s book, sounds fascinating, though.

Among the comments for the "Christmas in Fallujah" song on ITunes, there are a number of people slinging the same old "disloyal"/"support the troops" crap. I wonder what exactly they object to-the lyrics, which consist of words from soldier letters home, or the cause, which is wounded and crippled soldiers.
What they really object to is being shown that their ideology is busy burning to the ground.
