moony, I notice that all the events you list are events from 2007. If the US had not invaded Iraq, would those acts have happened? Even a child could see they would not have.

You need to read the article better.
President George Bush said "God would tell me". It doesn't say God did tell him. Let me cite the text:
The revelation comes after Mr Bush launched an impassioned attack yesterday in Washington on Islamic militants, likening their ideology to that of Communism, and accusing them of seeking to "enslave whole nations" and set up a radical Islamic empire "that spans from Spain to Indonesia". In the programmeElusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs, which starts on Monday, the former Palestinian foreign minister Nabil Shaath says Mr Bush told him and Mahmoud Abbas, former prime minister and now Palestinian President: "I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.' And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George go and end the tyranny in Iraq,' and I did."
Do you see the difference?

All throughout history people have used religion as a cloak for personal agendas. It it simply a matter of taking something noble and twisting it into a perversion and painting a smile on it so no one sees the skeleton grinning underneath. This applies to ALL religions, not just Christianity.

Because He is a strong enough individual that he made the decision to protect our nation and the world from terrorists, even though a large percentage aren't intelligent enough to back him up.

True Christianity has Nothing to do with Warfare. Jesus mentioned having Love for one another. Dont confuse Jesus Teachings with War among Nations today.
