Methinks someone is confused

"Our nation is chosen by God and commissioned by history to be a model to the world." G.W. Bush

Is that so?

• Did God choose slavery, which persisted in this country long after it was outlawed elsewhere in the civilized world?
• Did God choose to nearly eradicate the Native Americans?
• Did God choose to incarcerate Japanese civilians during World War II?
• Where was God when blacks were being lynched and bigots planted bombs in southern churches, killing innocent little girls?
• Are these the models God wanted for the rest of the world?
• I didn't get the memo that divinely decreed that "turn the other cheek" is now replaced by "pre-emptive strike"
• When did God decide that "Blessed is he that considereth the poor" is passe and that Robin Hood should switch sides?
