In a WALL STREET JOURNAL op-ed Tuesday, Princeton's Bernard Lewis writes: "There is a radical difference between the Islamic Republic of Iran and other governments with nuclear weapons. This difference is expressed in what can only be described as the apocalyptic worldview of Iran's present rulers."

"In Islam as in Judaism and Christianity, there are certain beliefs concerning the cosmic struggle at the end of time -- Gog and Magog, anti-Christ, Armageddon, and for Shiite Muslims, the long awaited return of the Hidden Imam, ending in the final victory of the forces of good over evil, however these may be defined."

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "and his followers clearly believe that this time is now, and that the terminal struggle has already begun and is indeed well advanced. It may even have a date, indicated by several references by the Iranian president to giving his final answer to the US about nuclear development by Aug. 22," which this year corresponds "to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427. This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to 'the farthest mosque,' usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back (c.f., Koran XVII.1).

"This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary of the world. It is far from certain that Mr. Ahmadinejad plans any such cataclysmic events precisely for Aug. 22. But it would be wise to bear the possibility in mind."

The world will end sometime in the next 5 years. To try and guess exactly when is wasting your time.

Sounds to me like most end of times predictions...will likely be a whole bunch of nothing. Interesting but probably not worth anything.

I doubt it. But it is major scary that this could in all reality happen.

8/22/06 may not be the end of the world, but that doesn't mean it won't be the end for some people... Anything can happen in that part of the world... I wish we could just stay away from there...

OH MY GOD!

If you take the month, 8 and subtract the first number of the day, 2, then you have 6, which is the year.

And, if you go backwards, if you take the year, 6 and add the second number of the day, 2, you get 8, which is the month!!!!!

It all works out!!!!!

We're phucked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forget Gold, I'm buying lead.

Actually, I wouldn't mind a little armageddon action. It's been so boring lately, the last 17 years or so since the fall of the Berlin Wall. We need to spice it up a bit on this planet.

. . .

yeah, I know, I need my coffee.

Time to find a nuke bunker.

How did they used to teach the kids in school? Get under your desk?

That part of the world has been in conflict for a few thousand years. Who knows what's going to happen.

We've got more nukes than they've got, and deliver them in a more sophisticated manner than a raghead in a Toyota -- bring it on camel jockeys!

Maybe the pot shouldn't be kept next to the boiling water.
