we have seen above, according to Christian Evangelical Fundamentalist
belief, the Battle of Armageddon, heralding the return of the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh), was expected to take place in those lands. The infra-
structure had to be prepared and the climate made suitable for this
important appearance.

Various neoconservatives, representing the political wing of Evan-
gelicalism in America, are the main shapers of the plans for the Middle

sometimes entirely disregards international law and sometimes is even
at complete variance with basic U.S. foreign policy. The best example
of this is perhaps the Iraq War.

President Ronald Reagan was a neoconservative representative and
believed throughout his life that he would see Doomsday. He claimed
that his interest in the anti-missile defense system was also to do with

Doomsday: Burning sulfur would pour down with torrents of rain,
mountains would be overturned and earthquakes would take place.

Evangelicals believe that a nuclear explosion is necessary for this to
happen. They therefore thought that the groundwork for this was
needed to be prepared. Reagan therefore shaped his Middle Eastern
policy accordingly and even quoted from the Old Testament to justify
the bombing of Libya. According to that view, Libya was one of the
major nations that would attack the People of Israel in the End Times.
Reagan therefore punished it in advance. 4

"gut instinct." Iraq was devastated on the pretext of weapons of mass
destruction. The Americans suffered severe losses as well and aban-
