How is a muslim in another country to feel about Rumsfeld's notes? How would he feel about us in Iraq describing ourselves as a "righteous nation?" Is he likely to believe that our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are wars of liberation?
It's not just the increased christianization of our armed forces, and particularly the officer corps, that has me concerned. Bush's purge of people who disagreed with him in the professional areas of government will have many consequences for the future. Bush's influence will be felt long after he is gone, and not just in lingering reactions to his policies but also as his appointments. But the military, with it's enormous purge during the Bush years of officers of good conscience, is certainly one of the institutions hardest hit by Bush's demands for loyalty.
