>>Let's take Pres. Bush out of the picture for a minute (I don't want to get into another discussion about him and Iraq.) Let's say Pres A is a friend to Nation A. Let's then say that Nation A begins to attack Pres A's country. Pres A is now at war with Nation A. Has Pres A changed in his character? I say 'no.' Nation A has changed and Pres A reacted to that change. Is that a better analogy?

All that is true - but - just because He chooses not to do as you outlined above, does not make Him mutable - does it? That was the point of the analogy.
