Democratism and Democracy in Iraq
Mark Shea juxtopses two articles on the above themes today at Catholic and Enjoying It!

The first, by Patrick J. Buchanan, questions our president's Wilsonian "political conversion to democratism, a faith-based ideology that holds democracy to be the cure for mankind's ills:" Bush's faith-based war.

The second reports on efforts to "beg the Pope to make one last plea for democracy" and fears that "the country is one step closer to becoming an Islamic state intolerant to non-Muslims:" Iraq bishops ready to seek help from Pope.

We can only pray that God might "write straight with crooked lines" on this one.
