"Under God?"
If we were not in a war with folks who believe they were operating under orders from Allah, I would applaud the 9th Cicuit ruling. The phrase in question was entered into the mix in response to "godless communism" back oin 1954. It was a crass political move then, as is the drive to strip it out is now.
However, when the bastards who blew away all those people back on 9-11-01 claim their actions are taken in the name of their God, as are the actions of homiced bombers in Israel, it seems to me that, whether anyone likes it or not, our opponents are laying down a gauntlet: "Accept our God or die." Since that is their rule of engagement, then why bother declaimng the US believes in no God? We're just as much an infidel nation either way.
