Yes, & it is quite possible that Bush is not the Antichrist, but
is merely another person being setup to be denounced as the Beast
by Christians, and as the Dajjal (Islamic "antichrist") by Moslems,
while the real "Mister 666" slips in under the radar, so to speak.
Where the first Beast is, there is also a second Beast, the False
Prophet, who is almost as powerful, & directs worship & obedience
to the first Beast. It is still difficult for me to see the Jews
accepting Bush (or Blair or Kerry or Annan or Clinton) as Messiah,
so until that Messiah appears, Bush etc cannot be viewed as the
Antichrist. They are certainly all involved in bringing about
the conditions where the Jews in particular & the world in general
will look to a Messiah to save them & guarantee peace.

Cheers, Steve..
