 idaho mountain express : Bush: 'We're changing the world' — Commentary by Pat Murphy :  Wednesday, April 21, 2004
This president indeed may be driven by a religious zeal that is beginning to reveal itself and is reminiscent of the eight crusades between 1095 and 1270.

Bush’s crusade to change the world from evil to goodness has unsettling similarities to the 1840s U.S. doctrine of "manifest destiny" aimed at conquering Indians.
