No More Mr. Nice Guy!

The Dunghill of Deceit

Newspapers are always happy to give column space to religious bigwigs to opine to their hearts' contents, and normally my eyes just skip past, knowing they will have nothing particularly fresh or insightful to say. But here's a column that's different. Written by a rabbi in ultra-blood-red born-again Idaho, it forcefully denounces the George Bush Junior misadministration's lies and acts of treachery that got us bogged down in the Iraquagmire. I was most impressed with the last sentence:

May we rise up together, as Christians and Moslems and Jews and other believers and atheists and agnostics, too, and demand that we, as a nation, support our troops in the only way that really matters - by bringing them home.

The full column is here, and well worth reading.
