It's a huge worry when god is telling him to attack other countries.

Quote: "In Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs, a major three-part series on BBC TWO (at 9.00pm on Monday 10, Monday 17 and Monday 24 October), Abu Mazen, Palestinian Prime Minister, and Nabil Shaath, his Foreign Minister, describe their first meeting with President Bush in June 2003.

Nabil Shaath says: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq …" And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, "Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East." And by God I'm gonna do it.'"

I can't say for sure, but I would be extremely surprised if this wasn't taken out of context or completely misquoted...especially coming second hand from the BBC (a known far left news orgainization). If, in fact, he did say these things as quoted, I would be concerned as well.

Ryno, you are correct, his comments were dripping with sarcasm. Why should a great country with over 300 million people be limited to just 2 legitimate choices for president was his basic criticisim. That's hardly better than just one (in his mind).
