Let's take a step back and not let our biases cloud our judgment. You're mostly atheists here, I get that. However, we must realise that there are people who would use anything to justify doing something stupid. I don't think GWBush really believes that god told him to do anything, and just because he said it doesn't make it so. If I wanted to manipulate a population I might very well say the same thing even though I don't believe that god even works in such a way. Sometimes people just lie, they don't really believe what they claim to believe.
