Iraq is a task from God.

"Our national leaders are sending them [the soldiers] out on a task that is... from God."--Sarah Palin

I believe in praying for our members of the military. But I don't believe this war was a "task from God." McCain does not want to be locked into a comparison with Bush. Yet it seems he chooses for VP someone who is even more like Bush than McCain is.

I hear Americans talk of fear of theocracies from the Middle East. A fear of governments who form their policies because they believe they know God's will. I have to ask how are comments like this different?
