God made him do it. President Bush: "I base a lot of my foreign policy decisions on some things that I think are true. One, I believe there's an Almighty. And, secondly, I believe one of the great gifts of the Almighty is the desire in everybody's soul, regardless of what you look like or where you live, to be free."

He didn't elaborate on whether he believes the Almighty sometimes takes human form in the shape of Dick Cheney.
