Bush's magic friend

But Bush is not blind to the realities in Iraq.... Rather, his self-confidence survives because it flows from two sources. The first is his
unconquerable faith in the rightness of his Big Idea. Bush is convinced that history is moving in the direction of democracy, or as he said Friday: "It's more of a theological perspective. I do believe there is an Almighty, and I believe a gift of that Almighty to all is freedom. And I will tell you that is a principle that no one can convince me that doesn't exist."

Talk about an argument against Faith.
