Survey on President Bush's Religious
Views & His Foreign Policy
NOTE:
Please
accept our apology in not including a working link to the survey
in last week's newsletter. As a result, we received no
responses. The link is correct today, and hopefully as
many of you as possible will respond to the survey.
On May 22,
2006, Reuters News Agency reported the
following from London regarding the issue of President Bush's
religious commitments and his ability to make sound foreign
policy decisions:
LONDON, England (Reuters) -- U.S. President George W.
Bush has alienated Muslims around the world by using absolutist
Christian rhetoric to discuss foreign policy issues, former
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright says.
"I worked for two presidents
who were men of faith, and they did not make their religious
views part of American policy," she said, referring to Jimmy
Carter and Bill Clinton, both Democrats and
Christians.
"President Bush's certitude about what he believes in,
and the division between good and evil, is, I think, different,"
said Albright, who has just published a book on religion and
world affairs. "The absolute truth is what makes Bush so
worrying to some of us."
Our question this week is: "Do you think that President Bush's
certitude about the division between good and evil weakens his
ability to make sound foreign policy
decisions?"
