Bush Feels Their Pain

There's a bitter irony in the notion that George Bush, the man most responsible for creating the social and political situation in which sectarian hatred and violence could flare to life, now offers his "help" to rebuild the most sacred mosque for Shiite Muslims. ...

According to CNSNEWS.COM:

President Bush, speaking to reporters after a cabinet meeting, thanked the Iraqi leaders who have tried to calm the violence spawned by the mosque bombing. He said "voices of reason" understand that the bombing is a political act intended to create civil strife.

President Bush called it an "evil act," and he assured the Iraqi people that the U.S. government is serious in its commitment to help rebuild the "beautiful dome."
