*U.S. Bars Iraq Contracts for Nations That Opposed War*

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 — The Pentagon has barred French, German and Russian companies from competing for $18.6 billion in contracts for the reconstruction of Iraq, saying the step "is necessary for the protection of the essential security interests of the United States."
One would think that a born again Bush (burning with fervor for Jesus?) would have heard that
Judgment is the Lord's
Just like, whenI heard the hubristic sh-t at the beginning of the Iraq attack, I thought:
Shock and awe are the Lord's.
I am at best an agnostic, but I believe that man is not the master of all things, and that each person is a "judge of the world" not in the sense of carrying out the sentence, but in being able to tell what deserves to exist, even if it does not exist, from what does not deserve to exist, even if it is effectively omnipotent.

On NPR All Things Considered yesterday, they interviewed journalists who have gone on forays with the Iraq terrorists. These mainstream-U.S. journalists seemed pretty generally convinced that the terorrists were pretty well organized and pretty much able to do whatever they wanted -- including having acquired some chemical (AKA batlefield WMD) munitions.
Messrs Bush and Rumsfeld and Chenyburton, have you heard of:
Dies irae?
