The Blinding Glare of His Certainty

"George W. Bush lives at the intersection of faith and inexperience. This is not a reassuring address, especially in a time of trouble. His public utterances are often measured and elegant, but there are frequent and rather grating lapses too. There is a tendency to ricochet between piety and puerility, an odd juxtaposition that raises a discomforting theological question: What is it about the President's religious faith that makes him seem so jaunty as he faces the most fateful decision a President can make?"
From an interesting article from Joe Klein on how Bush's faith shapes his approach to Iraq. This appeared in the Time Online Edition.
