The Bush administration recently appointed Paul Bonicelli to be

deputy director of the U.S. Agency for International Development

(USAID), where he will oversee programs that promote democracy and

good governance internationally. Bonicelli's last job was dean of

academic affairs at Patrick Henry College, a Christian

fundamentalist institution that requires students to sign a 10-part

" statement of faith " declaring, among other things, that

non-Christians will be condemned to hell, " confined in conscious

torment for eternity. " " What's wrong with this picture is that the

USAID programs Bonicelli will run are important weapons in the

arsenal of Bush's new public diplomacy czarina, White House

confidante Karen Hughes, " writes William Fisher, who has worked for

USAID and the U.S. State Department. " These programs are intended to

play a central role in boosting Bush's efforts to foster democracy

and freedom in Iraq and throughout the broader Middle East. "

Don't need no politician

Tell me things I ought to be

Neither no optician

Tell me what I ought to see

No one tells you nothing

Even when you know they know

They tell you what you should be

They don't like to see you grow
