I just learned the actual reason why Bush decided to invade Iraq, and it has nothing to do with oil or WMDs. This is an excerpt from an Israel newspaper (via a Russian newspaper) reporting on the meeting between Bush, Abbas (Palestinian Prime Minister) and the head of the Hamas concerning the "Roadmap to Peace."
Cool, eh? Evidently, though, the Pope didn't get the memo. If I remember correctly, the Pope was opposed to the war. Seems to me the leader of the Catholic Church would be pretty close to God and would get, at least, a courtesy copy of any instructions He gave to Bush. Pretty amazing, IMHO, that Bush would have a closer relationship with God than the majority of clerics in the entire free world.

Sure hope he can end all that bloodshed in the Middle East soon; I'd hate to see it interfere with his re-election effort, and all.

Funny thing, too, about some of the other guys in history that have used the "God told me to" excuse, most of them were eventually incarcerated... or institutionalized.
