Darth Vader And G.W. Bush: A Common Vision Of Empire?

Pope fears Bush is antichrist, journalist contends.

WASHINGTON DC -- According to freelance journalist Wayne Madsden, "George W
Bush's blood lust, his repeated commitment to Christian beliefs and his constant
references to 'evil doers,' in the eyes of many devout Catholic leaders, bear
all the hallmarks of the one warned about in the Book of Revelations--the
anti-Christ."

Madsen, a Washington-based writer and columnist, who often writes for
Counterpunch, says that people close to the pope claim that amid these concerns,
the pontiff wishes he was younger and in better health to confront the
possibility that Bush may represent the person prophesized in Revelations. John
Paul II has always believed the world was on the precipice of the final
confrontation between Good and Evil as foretold in the New Testament.

Before he became pope, Karol Cardinal Wojtyla said, "We are now standing in
the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I
do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the
Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final
confrontation between the church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the
anti-Gospel."

The pope worked tirelessly to convince leaders of nations on the UN
Security Council to oppose Bush's war resolution on Iraq. Vatican sources claim
they had not seen the pope more animated and determined since he fell ill to
Parkinson's Disease. In the end, the pope did convince the leaders of Mexico,
Chile, Cameroon and Guinea to oppose the U.S. resolution.

Madsen contends that "Bush is a dangerous right-wing ideologue who couples
his political fanaticism with a neo-Christian blood cult."
