"Bush said: 'God said to me, attack Afghanistan and attack Iraq.' The mentality of Mr. Bush and Mr. Ahmadinejad is the same here - both think God tells them what to do," says Mr. Mohebian, noting that end-of-time beliefs have similar roots in Christian and Muslim theology.

I actually know some who are still bent about Bush's comments about 'witches' he made during his first run at presidency...

Thing is, Bush is a Christian who believes the dogma of his teachings in that regards. It may have been poor taste to have said it publically about his disregard and dislike of a Pagan tradition...But it was his opinion. An uninformed one, but an opinion non-the-less.

The only problem I'll have with his opinion is if he tried to remove my rights to personal religious practices...He can hate the fact, vocalize the fact, all he wants that he wishes I didn't have it...But it's IF he actually tries to remove it that (and excuse the pun) all hell will break loose. ROTFLMAOL!!!
