Dowd: Belief in miracles makes poor national policy

Blind faith
Maureen Dowd
THE NEW YORK TIMES



WASHINGTON - When I was little, I was very good at leaps of faith.
A nun would tape up a picture of a snow-covered mountain peak on the blackboard and say that the first child to discern the face of Christ in the melting snow was the holiest. I was soon smugly showing the rest of the class the ''miraculous'' outline of that soulful, bearded face.
But I never thought I'd see the day when leaps of faith would be national policy, when the fortunes of the nation hung on the possibility of a miracle.
What does it tell you about a president that his grounds for war are so weak that the only way he can justify it is by believing God wants it? Or that his only Iraq policy now - as our troops fight a vicious insurgency and the dream of a stable democracy falls apart - is a belief in miracles?

3. no, Whoreen wouldn't lie about the Clintons, would she?

If you're stupid enough to believe anything Dowd writes, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale!

She needs to just go back to doing what she does best with cheap wigs, spike heels and a pimp named Karl...
