The problem is, that IF 59% or 123 million
adult Americans believe Revelations to be literally true, they MAY
believe (according to the newspaper article that mentioned this 59%
statistic) that destabilizing the Middle East will speed up their
Ascension and support a foreign policy that isn't exactly in the
global public interest.

Wim, relax. The folks running things over here are in no way
irrational. They know EXACTLY what they are doing, and what they are
doing is enriching themselves and their families for generations to
come. They nod, and wink, and make concessions to the whacky
religious right because they see there a powerful voting base. But
they would no more turn the reins of power over to, say, Jerry
Falwell than they would to Ralph Nader or Noam Chomsky. It's true
that their foreign policy isn't in the global public interest, it
never has been, but this doesn't mean they are doing what they do to
speed their own ballistic accelerations into heaven. They plan on
being around for a long, long time; and I believe it is a very grave
mistake to underestimate them
Best,
Mark
