| Tóm tắt: | On January 28, 2003, George W. Bush delivered his State of the Union address
to Congress at a difficult moment in his presidency. Facing an ailing economy
and the prospect of war with Iraq, Bush sought to reassure Americans not only
of his political competence but of a higher purpose to the nation’s history. “We
Americans have faith in ourselves,” the president noted at the conclusion of his
speech, “but not in ourselves alone.We do not know – we do not claim to know
all the ways of Providence, yet we can trust in them, placing our confidence in
the loving God behind all of life and all of history.”1 While the President’s
religious rhetoric unsettled some observers, his suggestion of a divine role in
American policy making is hardly unique. |
