1. does Bush believe?

You remember when Bush was asked about his legacy, and he replied that it didn't matter because we'd all be dead in 10 years?

The problem with this stuff is that Christians have been saying this since there were Christians (not that millennarian belief is restricted to Christians)

The writers of the gospels (around 30-60 AD, I believe) thought that the world would end within their lifetimes. And it's been the same throughout history. Though it tends to pick up steam around certain dates, like 1000, 1500, 2000.
