The rise of the fundamentalist Christian Right in the U.S. threatens to devolve international affairs into a kind of spiritual-realist confrontation. While many observers believe that future war will be regional and contained within small locals, we can see how current trends are leading us away from nation-state based conflict and deeper into civilization-based conflict. This refers to conflicts on religious or ethnic lines, constructs that are far more deeply imbedded. U.S. Christian fundamentalists show a willingness to use force to attain their goals of economic and political strength for reasons of divine right. For example, the current Bush administration has authorized the use of pre-emptive nuclear strikes should it be deemed necessary. The growing willingness to use open force on the world stage, while imposing new political systems on foreign cultures (Afghanistan, Iraq), suggests an overt willingness to avoid diplomacy and in favor of strength. This use of force is validated by the Christian Right's belief that America is a divinely created state and thus has the word of God to support its position. While the U.S. has been active abroad since World War II to further its own agenda, it is more recently that we see these actions being justified in terms of moral terms: right and wrong, good versus evil, the "evildoers." Such rhetoric suggests a belief that the U.S. is acting for reasons on a higher plane than the one we currently live in. Two possibilities arise. First, the global balance that currently exists, that of nuclear weapons on each side, holds since no country is willing to start a domino effect. Thus, the ultimate end to conflict is diplomatic. Second, we see countries unwilling to back down from their moral positions and, acting on the authority of a higher power, begin military action. Regardless of a nation's political position or leader's religious belief set, it is only through a secular course of action can international political diplomacy occur, and only when the leaders act for their people instead of metaphysical beliefs can world peace be maintained.
