To Zambian President Frederick Chiluba, who in 1991 declared Zambia "A Christian Nation:" "Your country is a astandard for not only AFric but the rest of the world...Wouldn't you love to have someone like that as president of the United States of America?...The term 'Christian nation' seems to scare a lot of people in this nation of ours, but what Chiluba said is that it gives us a yardstick tomeasure the performance of the government. Otherwise, we have no yardstick." (One of Chiluba's first acts as President was to make all public schools and state-run radio and television conform to Fundamentalist Christianity. His "anti-pornography" crusade involved fundamentalist ministers and missionaries joining forces with police to burn material they'd deemed obscene.)
