The twentieth century was the most war-torn period in the history of the world, and the U.S. was at the center of most of the conflagrations. Regardless of whether you feel the U.S. was justified in getting involved in these wars or not, this article takes an interesting look at how Presidents have turned to religion and their faith in God in making some of their most difficult decisions. It's from Newsweek which may or may not indicate some sort of bias in your mind, but it takes a fairly objective look at our "war presidents" of the twentieth century.

The thought bringing God into war always puzzled me. I always thought that it wouldn't make sense if two enemies prayed that God would be on their side throughout the war. Well to be truthful with you, I don't think Jesus would want war. Yet when I hear that presidents pray to God in time of war, it seems as if they are unconfident in their decisions that they are making so they are hoping by the luck of God, that it will turn out for the better in the end. Does anyone feel the same way?
Ryan Uyeno, you are Muy Bueno. You're the only person who consitently comments on the articles I post. It's nice to know someone is paying attention. (And yes, you will get extra credit for that. :) )
