It's funny and sad at the same time.

"Pat Robertson says that President Bush should put church-state separation "at the very top of its agenda" in rebuilding Iraq after defeating Saddam Hussein's regime."
Article

"There is no such thing as ... separation of state and church ... in the Constitution. It's a lie of the left" - Pat Robertson

You know what one of the 'rewards' of the war in Iraq were? We removed the God from the Iraqi flag! And over here, they want to put the 10 Commandments everywhere, and they want to pass the Constitution Restoration Act of 2004 which will make it an impeachable offense for Judges to rule on matters relating to God (This is a one way ticket to a Theocracy), it's unbelievable.

1. Well I suppose it all depends on which God
And as a footnote, the secularization of Iraq doesn't have all that much chance of continuing in the long run.

2. I see them turning to a more heavily religious component
at least in the short run, as a way of uniting people and driving the US forces out of that country forever.
