In the article, the author says ... In a recent press conference, the president asserted that the real objective of the war in Iraq was freedom. "Freedom is the Almighty's gift to every man and woman in the world." The Philadelphia Inquirer, in its May 2 2004 edition, asked two theologians, one Evangelical and the other Catholic, what biblical foundation there was for this doctrine. Neither could find any.

I guess we are lucky the commies never pointed that out to us before.

I always viewed freedom as sort of implicit, in the Bible.

According to scripture, no one is really entitled to anything - it is all a gift, from a loving God.

But the implication is that every person has worth in God's eyes, who judges us all with a criteria totally divorced from man's valuations of worth. As a result, we are all equal, and no man has any right to rule over another "without the consent of the governed".

As a result, impediments to freedom are erected by men who are in violation of God's principles.
