George W. Bush apparently believed that Iraq and Afghanistan were singled out in end times prophecy. "Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East," he told French President Jacques Chirac in a 2003 phone call, appealing to their common Christian faith as a basis for the invasion. "This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase His people's enemies before a new age begins. 99 Chirac, a Roman Catholic, promptly asked his staff to call the French Federation of Protestants and find out what Bush was talking about.ALT

If you want to know just how crazy fucked up Evangelical/Fundamentalist Christian views of the apocalypse are, and how that affects US politics, I recommend The Rapture Exposed by Barbara Rossing. She’s a (mainline) Christian theologian, so a lot of the book is about the theological and Biblical reasons why the Rapture is a horrible twisting of Christian beliefs. But she also spends a lot of time talking about just how fucked up the belief in the Rapture is, and the terrifying political and social consequences that set of beliefs has had for America.
