The Maker of US policy

What a stroke of luck that God's advice to George Bush fits so neatly
alongside US national interests

Given our previous knowledge of President Bush, the suggestion that he
believes that God is dictating American foreign policy should be no
more surprising than a revelation of the Pope's Roman Catholicism. And
yet, surprisingly, the White House has been fiercely atheistic about
such claims. A West Winger has rubbished suggestions by former
Palestinian foreign minister Nabil Shaath (made in a new BBC2 series
from the distinguished and highly reliable film-maker Norma Percy) that
Bush had confided the Almighty's role as a sort of super national
security adviser, a secretary of higher state.
