"There are no atheists in foxholes," Doug. I think you can find enough valid
reasons to protest the war without fabricating a religious one. Enough
already with the Christian stuff -- of *course* some soldiers are
Christians, of course some ministries will ask them to pray, and so on. It's
hardly like it's part of the official rhetoric, nor do you see it all that
much in interviews. I think this is quite alarmist.

And meanwhile, the other side is crying "Jihad!" and "Our Blood and Souls
for Saddam?" I do hope that's part of the "religious war aspects" that you
find "troubling."
