Leadership

It's been reported that the "Congressional Leadership" has written to President Bush to say, "This Congress is taking the responsible course and responding to needs that have been ignored by your administration and the prior Congress." It seems that they want 535 members of Congress to manage the war in Iraq. From the beginning of this Nation wise men and women have understood that such an undertaking would be disastrous.

There is an absolute reverse corollary (can I say that?). Sometime an individual will develop a "private interpretation" of Scripture and lead a host of people astray (David Koresh, Jim Jones, etc.). The value of the Church's rich theological understanding is abandoned for the promotion of one person's idiocy.

Our nation elects a Commander-in-Chief and trains men and women to conduct war when necessary. It's time for Congress to attend to what they do best (keep that pork coming) and listen to those who follow the wisdom that comes from learning and understanding history correctly.
