I saw W. with Josh Brolin but I want to see Vice. Christian Bale is a changeling.
As for Bush, he wasn't super intelligent but he wasn't stupid either. I think when 9/11 happened, he just felt like it was pretty much Pearl Harbor and felt a need to make his mark in history. He probably saw it as an opportunity to be big and outdo his dad who left Saddam in power.
As whether or not he was manipulated by his peers, I don't know but you have to remember that can go both ways since it might be bad to dissent like what happened with Powell, yes-men are a dime a dozen. The first Bush was smart to liberate Kuwait but not invade Iraq. Toppling Saddam Hussein only created havoc in the Middle East. But Neo-Con thinkers as early as the 1970's were making lists of countries which the U.S. should invade. Iraq was one of them. Si vis pacem, para bellum.
