Bush's Faith

Finally getting to the April Atlantic and came across this article by Jack Beatty about President George W. Bush's faith.

The article made me wish I hadn't just renewed my subscription. Beatty blames Bush's faith "in things unseen" as the reason why we haven't found weapons of mass destruction -- he imagined them just like he imagines Jesus!

As an inside observer to the Bush Administration's very real successes in the human rights realm on issues such as combating international sex trafficking and brokering a fair deal that will end the persecution of Christians in Southern Sudan, there is no doubt that Bush's faith guides him to making these policy decisions. However to suggest, like Mr. Beatty does, that Bush uses his faith as a means to avoid using reason, well I am sure he used reason when passing his coursework at Yale and Harvard. But of course, he only attended those schools because his Daddy got him in. Well, President Bush could have failed out. But maybe, it was Jesus who got him through, so that some punk like Beatty would not be President of the United States when those two planes hit the twin towers.
