George and the Almighty

President Bush: "I based 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. I believe liberty is universal. I believe people want to be free. And I know that democracies do not war with each other. And I know that the best way to defeat the enemy, the best way to defeat their ability to exploit hopelessness and despair is to give people a chance to live in a free society." If you care to, and can stand it, read this April speech in its entirety here.

Call me crazy, many have, but I would like to think that foreign policy decisions are based on something besides his apparent direct-line connection to the - capital "a" - Almighty.
