Warren: Bush Peace Award "Was Not About Peace"

Earlier this week, Think Progress reported that Pastor Rick Warren presented President Bush with the first International Medal of PEACE from the Global PEACE Coalition for his work on the global HIV/AIDS crisis. Warren defended the decision on Fox's Hannity and Colmes Thursday night:

COLMES: But to give a peace award to a guy who started two wars...neither of which are completed yet. [...]

WARREN: Well, the Peace Award was not about peace in domestic -- or foreign policy.

Warren went on to elaborate on his own foreign policy, arguing that stopping evil "is the legitimate role of government" and suggesting we 'take out' Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
