Right Wing Holy War?

Republicans continue to justify the war in Iraq by stating that it is better to fight terrorism in Iraq than in America. They describe Iraq as a fighting ground between American forces of good and the terrorist “Axis of Evil.”

This language is the language of right wing religious extremism. It is evocative of the holy war of Armageddon described in the Bible’s Revelations.

Setting aside the moral bankruptcy of subjecting an innocent populace to a war they have nothing to do with..... Is secular America comfortable with the idea of waging a holy war prophesized millennia ago to result in the end of the world.
