well, whats more than a little strange about this rapture business as an element of bush administration foreign policy in particular is that it makes some sense of it in ways that it wouldn't without it. the foreshortened sense of the future, the strategic blindness--hell, why bother with strategy if you are expecting a deus ex machina, right?
then there's the idea that cowboy george actually believed he was on a mission from some god and said as much because he really did think that saying it would be persuasive, like it'd let the other leaders in on some secret and maybe get them to climb on board. *that* is peculiar.
