A few points:
1. John Hagee believes that the United States will be (and should be) nuked by God if it fails to obey Greater Israelists in the Israeli government.
2. The CPMAJO (Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations) is by far the most powerful Jewish and Israeli lobbying group in the world, and it supports John Hagee and his fellow Christian Armageddonists. AIPAC and the ADL are only two of a dozen or so components of the CPMAJO. (Most Americans know very little about the CPMAJO, since the mainstream media take care to whisper about it only occasionally.)
3. Kevin Phillips, one of the most astute analysts of political trends in America, argues in his latest book that Christian fundamentalists have become very (and dangerously) powerful in the Republican Party and the United States in general. Since they think the world is going to end at any moment, they don't really give a damn about supporting any policies that make practical efforts to improve the quality of life of Americans or anyone else.
Phillips' new book is American Theocracy:

4. The views of fundies like Hagee are so alien to American values and the American interest, and so sympathetic to scenarios in which Americans are attacked by the angry God of Israel, that one wonders whether they shouldn't be treated as potential religious terrorists.

5. George W. Bush himself is quite likely a Christian Armageddonist, and may believe that he is on mission from God to trigger the End of the World. There are obviously some very crazy thoughts floating around in his head.

Yes, Sean, I often thought you were slightly alarmist. Maybe I just
have heard to many bible based prophesies. But yes, I have to admit
that these religious fanatics frightens me a bit too. Somehow I can't
help, but think religion is a bit misused here. Talking of sheep.
Sheep are good, always vote as they are told.

Definitely, lately I read an interesting exchange on the topic. Jewish
Americans seem to watch this with alarm, while Israelis tend to take
it with a grain of salt, mainly joking about it. Gallows humor?
But then look at this

The rabbi likes the book because after reading it he realizes what Mr.
Hagee believes & then states.....a TV Pastor has proven from the
Christian bible that Jews do not need to be converted.
I wasn't aware of Jones and Jonestown by the way. Why are so many
files top secret?
