The Nation: Christian Soldiers on the March
Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye's bestselling Left Behind series (think
of
it as a Star Wars Trilogy for the religious right--it has sold 35
million
copies), one-quarter of the world's population has mysteriously
disappeared, and the most God-fearing among those "left behind" form
the
Tribulation Force, a troupe of evangelicals who believe the End of Days
is
nigh and the Secretary General of the United Nations is the Antichrist.
There's no evidence that George W. Bush owns the leather-bound
collector's
edition, but he certainly would sympathize with the T-Force's distaste
for
multilateralism. To every UN meeting that has occurred since he assumed
the
presidency, Bush has sent pit-bull delegations seemingly bent on
ravaging
both the global spirit as well as hard-fought consensus built
throughout
the past decade on social justice and human rights, especially women's
rights.
