It means that Bush is a religious fundamentalist, just like Osama. They
both scare me.

The difference, of course, is that President Bush won't cut your head
off if you don't convert to his religion (whatever religion that is).

The difference, of course, is that Osama has a fraction of the power that
Bush has.

Being the Christian fundamentalist that Bush is, and believing as he does
that his God specifically placed him in the office of the presidency, more
than a few people have wondered aloud if he might feel some sort of divine
mandate towards bringing about (or encouraging us towards) the Biblical
Armageddon, thereby ushering in the era for which his kind spend so much
time on their knees praying for. (Come, sweet Jesus.) I feel safe in
assuming that Bush believes God placed him in the presidency in order to
further the Divine will; the problem lies in ascertaining that will. I'm not
comfortable with the thought of anybody running the country and influencing
the entire world based on what they believe their God is telling them to do,
especially when they are fundamentalist proponents of a religion that claims
that the end of the world is a good thing.

Bush believes that he is an agent of God just as much as Osama believes it
of himself. They both believe that they worship the One True God(tm). And
they're both frightening. Not as frightening as the thought of Kerry taking
over, but still....

And what, by the way, does any of this have to do with shortwave?
