EXPLAIN THIS AWAY ... PLEASE.
Why I considered the slaughter of the innocent Amish schoolgirls the final moment for America’s sanity among our government’s leaders. Note that these words below are the scattered remnants of an article that appeared in the local newspaper after the slaughter. The full text is buried in the archives of this web site, but still available. The denial goes on – even to the Lancet study of the 655,000 dead Iraqis civilians. The United States of Amnesiacs have tossed their “inalienable rights” away into a lost memory hole.

Bush quietly meets with Amish here; they offer their prayers
"President Bush met privately with a group of Old Order Amish during his visit to Lancaster County last Friday. He discussed their farms and their hats and his religion.
He asked them to vote for him in November.
The Amish told the president that not all members of the church vote but they would pray for him. Bush had tears in his eyes when he replied. He said the president needs their prayers. He also said that having a strong belief in God is the only way he can do his job. ... At the end of the session, Bush reportedly told the group, “I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.’’
