A Christian would love his neighbour, but a Christian's faith also has roots it cannot ignore. Those roots show that everything points to saving God's chosen ones; the Jews. To do this, the prophecies in the Book of Revelation need to be fulfilled, and these actions are just steps toward that. Ultimately, the goal is the Reign of Christ, so whatever gets us closer to that is 'right'.

Not all Christians believe the same thing. To say that if you are Christian you must believe in the following is ridiculous. In faith, there are, of course, categorizations in order to describe someone from an outside prespective and to keep things organized but if someone describes themself as a Christian but does not adhere to what you said that's there choice and that must be respected, IMO.
As to the topic of the thread, when I pray God does not speak to me. I do it more to clear my mind and get rid of anxiety, guilt etc. This helps me make better choices. If I was Bush I would be repenting rather than asking which country in order to invade. Also he's kind of implying he's on a religious mission which is as history has shown is very very bad.
