That's a great reflection on Lincoln's Second Inaugural. As I reflect back on Lincoln's service to the nation, and to the Constitution and principles of the founders, I'm struck that time and time again, at times of maximum peril and darkness, the Almighty always seems to elevate the right person for the moment. I believe that Lincoln was the gift of the Providence that he depended upon. I trust that Geo. W. Bush is also the gift of Providence for our place and time.

I hope, and am praying, that you are right about our President. In the matter of Iraq, at least, he has done very well indeed, according to my imperfectly informed judgment.

Cheers, and thanks for the kind words about my Lincoln reflections.
