Bush also thought God was speaking to him, he was massively deluded
But I don't make excuses for anyone with no basic sense of morality. If you're listening to Cheney and doing the awful shit he wants, I don't think you deserve much credit.
With that being said, it is important to recognize that it's never just the president. Bush had a whole network of awful neocons in his administration, and in the media supporting him. Many have found their way into Trump's WH.
I think this quote sums up the Bush administration well:
People like you are still living in what we call the reality-based community. You believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality. That's not the way the world really works anymore. We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you are studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors, and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.
