It is quite clear that Bush is a sociopathic and sadistic. He delights at the misfortune and suffering of others. Why would he or any Republican, given the core values of the Republican party, ever want to do the right thing for anyone other than themselves. The Republican party is the party of things not the party of people.
Pope Leo XIII(Rerum Novarum) advocated for social justice and against rampant capitalism, unlike the Catholic church, my church, of today which endorses and supports the Republican party and it's war against people. I'll take Pope Leo and Thomas Merton and the Republicans can have John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Caring for people is 'the right thing to do' while endlessly supporting the rich and keeping the Latin american peoples in poverty or the troops on inadequate(Walter Reed etc) support for the rest of their lives is 'the wrong thing to do'. The Vietnam troops were denied adequate care and the very same thing is happening all over again.
WWJD. Jesus would never support war of any kind for any reason he would always demand diplomacy, something Bush and his republicans just hate. Imperialism, be it religious or political(Republican) just rolls on and over dead and maimed bodies, US troops, Afghani and Iraqi citizens. And we are going to teach them democracy, methinks not. Unless one calls it religious and republican party democracy.
Sorry for two posts.
