God influencing US Foreign Policy

For Evangelicals, Supporting Israel Is ‘God’s Foreign Policy’ - New York Times

People will rationalize anything. According to this NYTimes article, conservative Christians think that it is justifiable per the Bible for US to take the side of Israel and continue waging the war. So much for the separation of the Church and State. In response to the meeting between President Bush and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel, administration officials claim that it was just a courtesy meeting with a political ally and that evangelical theology has no effect on foreign policy making. Yeah Right! Read the article for more insight.

As long as religion plays a role in politics and wars, which will probably continue for a while, there will be no end to radical terrorism.
