"I worked for two presidents who were men of faith, and they did not make their religious views part of American policy," she said, referring to Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, both Democrats and Christians.
"President Bush's certitude about what he believes in, and the division between good and evil, is, I think, different," said Albright, who has just published a book on religion and world affairs. "The absolute truth is what makes Bush so worrying to some of us."
She quotes from his speech to his party convention of 2004, when he told Republicans: "We have a calling from beyond the stars to stand for freedom."
"Some of his language is really quite over the top," Albright told Reuters on Sunday during a trip to London to promote her book. "When he says 'God is on our side', it's very different from (former U.S. President Abraham) Lincoln saying 'We have to be on God's side.'"
This needs much more attention from the media. I believe that this is the thing about George W. Bush, above all other issues, that make him a threat to out country and to the world at large. The idea that you cannot be wrong because you are devinely inspired is the talk of a madman!
He needs to be contained and the agenda of his most ardent supporters needs to be exposed.
Go here to find out how scary some of his supporters can be.
