That line alone, from the first speech Bush made as he announced the war on Iraq, would just dig at militant Muslims in Iraq and abroad. By claiming "God" is on his side during this conflict, he opened the door to years of hardship.
And because both sides feel their faith in their deity is absolute and unwavering, and that said deity fuels their drive and supports their cause, a true peaceful outcome of any war is almost certainly impossible.
The spreading of "liberty and peace" as Bush describes it comes at a price. It comes with the Americanization of all that it touches.
Quote:The United States with other countries will work to advance liberty and peace in that region. Our goal will not be achieved overnight, but it can come over time. The power and appeal of human liberty is felt in every life and every land, and the greatest power of freedom is to overcome hatred and violence, and turn the creative gifts of men and women to the pursuits of peace. That is the future we choose... may God continue to bless America
