Rick, here is another quote from Reinhold Niebuhr:

There is no cure for the pride of a virtuous nation but pure religion.

If you truly believe America has become to prideful and should become virtuous, if you agreed with Rev. Niebuhr, you would argue for more religion in our government. You would welcome a religious man like Bush as President.

How do you maintain this odd contradiction?--you say you agree with Rev Niebuhr and then excoriate Bush for his religiousness....

I see a lot of these odd contradictions in your writings: "We should never have attacked Iraq (but the world is better off without Saddam)."

Please read better. I said Iraq is better off without Saddam.

<> I probably disagree with R.N. on that one, but I'd like to see the context. What, for one thing, does he mean by "pure religion." He was a scholar, so that could be a technical term. Anyone know what book it's from? My Neiburh bio isn't handy.
