Gary Wills' NY Times Magazine article, "With God on His Side," a long look at presidents' pressing God into the service of politics. Keywords: "Missed you at bible study," (an unsubtle slam in the Bush White House) and "muscular Christianity."
Wills closes with an excerpt of Mark Twain's "War Prayer," written to protest the US invasion of the Philippines.
