Carl:

He is born again, Carl, so God leads him directly, like the Pope.  He does 
not need to provide an in depth political/economic analysis of the validity of 
his decisions.  Besides, is he or any member of his family facing death, injury 
or hardship over the war in Iraq?  The opposite might be the case with Bush 
family investments in the military sector oriented Carlyle group doing well 
with increased military spending in war time.

I see the pompous holier than thou attitude of Bush, his "I am right with no 
doubt in my mind whatsoever and you are all wrong" arrogance as possibly 
related to Bush's religious faith.  Then again, I know some cynics who think his 
religious faith is an insincere political tool.

"Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up" he says as a shudder of 
dread, of doubt and skepticism invades his mind. 

I wonder, does Bush ever have moments of self examination and criticism that 
provide balance and caution, that offer an antidote to foolish dogmatism?
