Pope Calls Bush the Anti-Christ?

Read this great little tidbit; Pope Fears Bush is anti-Christ, Journalist Contends, New Catholic Times It makes sense to me that the anti-Christ would be a stupid, misguided ideologue such as Dubya, rather than your run-of-the-mill super-smart, manipulative villain type. However, the article also states; "John Paul II has always believed the world was on the precipice of the final confrontation between Good and Evil as foretold in the New Testament." But isn't that true of every Pope historically? The world is always "on the precipice," otherwise there is no reason to repent and join the Church.
