All Seven

Juan Cole makes a convincing case that the man who referred to "Jesus Christ" as his biggest political influence has some 'splainin to do:

Pride.

On May 2, 2003, Bush landed on an aircraft carrier in a flight suit to declare the end of major combat in Iraq. From the staged character of the event (the aircraft carrier was just offshore and there was no need to fly out to it), to the famous codpiece flight suit (which was intended to exude machismo), to the banner "Mission Accomplished," the entire event was suffused with overweening pride.

Major combat was, of course, not then over, and is not over in fall of 2005. Bush compounded his pridefulness with a speech on July 2, 2003, when he addressed the growing guerrilla movement in Iraq and said, "Bring'em on!"...

Envy.

The Bush administration envied the old imperial powers such as the British Empire, and wanted to recreate that age. They could not, and the whole idea that they could was far-fetched to begin with.

Anger.

Bush and his team were angry at those who criticized their propaganda about Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction...

Laziness/Sloth.

Bush vacations relentlessly, and especially in August. It was while on vacation that Bush declined to act early and forcefully in both the tsunami and in the Katrina catastrophe in New Orleans. If laziness or sloth is the absence of appropriate zeal, that absence has deeply marked his presidency.

Bush has still not brought Usamah Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, who killed nearly 3,000 Americans and attacked both New York and the Pentagon, to justice.

Greed.
The Bush administration is guilty of imperial overstretch with regard to Iraq...

Gluttony.

Over-consumption of petroleum drives some significant part of the Bush administration''s Middle East policies.

Lust.
Lust can be for sex but also for power. A person who lusts have power wants more of it than is good for anyone.

Lust for power caused Bush to make many of his most important mistakes.

And that doesn't even count the ugly savagery of torture that Big Time is so keen on. Christians should maybe think twice before bestowing their blessings on the boy and his master.
