So did GWB claim that God told him to invade Iraq?
How is this different to an Islamic terrorist claiming that Allah told him to blow up an aeroplane (or whatever)?
Seriously Buz what do you see as the defining difference between the two?
My guess is Dubya first of all could hear him better (there's no towel around his head, you see), and second, he is of course listening to The One True God

Perfectly reasonable and logical, wouldn't you say?
I hunt for the truth
I am the one Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.
