I guess my earlier question stands, if worded slightly differently.
Which is of greater value, Jesus' saying bring peace and love to your neighbour, or the Old Testament condoning violence and sacrifice in the name of God?
Which of these would a 'true Christian' say is the more important, and ultimately, 'right'?

Obeying God is the most important. So the question is to decide what God is telling you to do. Obviously Bush is confident with what he believes God is telling him.
And of course you could interpret the Iraq war in many different ways. Either the US is aggressivly attacking a defenseless nation for selfish reasons, or they are freeing it from years of oppression, bringing peace and stability to those people. The "right" act would depend highly on motive.
