Call it Christmas Overload, but I just found myself reasoning this way.
When David Koresh stockpiled weapons in his house and told people God had told him to prepare for war, federal agents drove in the tanks and killed him.
When George Bush went into the situation room with the Joint Chiefs and told them God had told him to invade Iraq...they did it...
Does that mean the White House should now be officially regarded as the headquarters of a dangerous religious cult?

Good reasoning. The only scary little difference is that G. Bush has a lot more of those silly little followers.

1: Koresh killed himself. No tank ran him over, nor was he shot. He chose the way of the megalomaniac...death before defeat.
2: The quote about GWB claiming that God told him to strike Iraq has a highly dubious source. Until it is confirmed otherwise, that particular quote should be treated with skepticism.
That said: The Bush administration has show an almost religious-like denial of reality in the Middle East and around the world. Prefering to see things through their dogmatic perspecitve instead of the way the world is, they do resemble members of a fanatical evangelical cult.

George Bush got a massage from the god? why the god needs a messenger ... why not make a earth quick to blast the place.
