Sending John C. Danforth to the U.N. is sending a "message" to all of the "evil doer" nations with whom he must interact "diplomatically." The message, however, is a blatant statement that "our god" is the only "god" you must believe in if you want to stay on the good side of the world's only superpower, otherwise we will kick your national ass in to line with the "godly"--us, or rather U.S.F.C., the United States of Fundamentalist Christianity.
Mr. Danforth, 67, an ordained Episcopal priest who officiated at the Washington funeral service of former President Ronald Reagan, recently served as special envoy for peace talks in Sudan. He served in the Senate for three terms, leaving in 1995.
