A valid point, and one I considered before going ahead with these scenes. It’s quite possible that in several years time, George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden will not seem like the best examples of “enemies”, sharing the same timeless antagonism present between the other examples I used, like Jews and Hitler, or African-Americans and the KKK. Moreover, a critique of how well Bush followed Jesus’s teachings while in office may just seem very dated in five or ten years. Fortunately I’ve already found it to be enjoyable to redo stories I did four years ago, so maybe I’ll redo these again in another four years or so.

Just remind me to go with some more securely permanent examples before I die.

   Also, was Bush’s utterance of “comdemn” intentional? If so, that also is obscure at best.

:) Thanks for the typo catch.
