President George W. Bush has alienated Muslims around the world by using absolutist Christian rhetoric to discuss foreign policy issues, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright says.
"I worked for two presidents who were men of faith, and they did not make their religious views part of American policy," she said, referring to Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, both Democrats and Christians.
"President Bush's certitude about what he believes in, and the division between good and evil, is, I think, different," said Albright, who has just published a book on religion and world affairs. "The absolute truth is what makes Bush so worrying to some of us."
Bush, a Republican, has openly acknowledged his Christian faith informs his decisions as president. He says, for example, that he prayed to God for guidance before invading Iraq.
Some Muslims have accused him of waging a crusade against Islam, comparable with those of the Middle Ages. The White House says it has nothing against Islam, but against those who commit terrorist atrocities in its name.
But Albright says Bush's religious absolutism has made U.S. foreign policy "more rigid and more difficult for other countries to accept."

She missed the memo! He is doing this by design. You all know that by admission he is creating a new societal and world order. He has been told by God to do this. He was told to straighten out the Middle East and start with Iraq. with the Russian Doctrine of Destruction he is following http://www.anaveragepatriot.com he must create disorder first so he can replace it with his new order. But it will stop short at total middle east and world disorder.
Up Steps Blair with absolute proof that he didn't get the memo either!
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- After meeting with the leaders of Iraq's new government, British Prime Minister Tony Blair called its inauguration a "new beginning" that removes any excuse insurgents have to commit violence.
"There is now no vestige or excuse for people to carry on with terrorism or bloodshed," Blair told reporters at a joint news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
"If the worry of people is the presence of the multinational forces, it is the violence that keeps us here. It is peace that will allow us to go," Blair added.

Bush is creating his new order, that's all that matters to him! we are on their soil uninvited. They want us off! They told us this from day one. So what does bush do? He attacks them and makes our relations 1,000 times worse. He is pushing his perverted fundamentalism and warped idea of Democracy on a people that are going to rebel regardless.we should think of the many that want us out not the few that want Democracy.
I refuse to believe that Blair is stupid enough to say there is no longer a reason to continue the violence and bloodshed. wake up please! There is more reason now than ever!
It's okay with Bush though, he is on a mission from God and he is the Decider!
While I am writing this I Just heard Bono say that God is with the poor and the downtrodden, he is right! He just told me that God is not with Bush and he isn't!
