Why the cryptic name Babylon? First, the historical Babylon was the pagan power which persecuted the People of God, the Jews, between 610 and 538 BC, destroying the Temple and dispersing the people. The Romans inherited that mantle of infamy when they destroyed the Temple in 70 AD, and more importantly persecuted the new People of God, the Church. Thus, St. Peter, writing from Rome refers to as "Babylon" (1 Pt. 5:13) - a name any Jew or Christian familiar with the Old Testament would know.

Babylon is now called Iraq. ( Really, I heard many times since the war began that Iraq was formerly named Babylon and is the Babylon of biblical times)

The ruins of Babylon is in the country of Iraq.
It has never been rebuilt although some have put forth a great deal of money and man power to try.

Babylon was destroyed. The people and ideals are all gone. GWB is pushing his own agenda, not God's. Man cannot make or guide a prophecy to happen. I think the war in Iraq is more related to oil dynasties.

Babylon is any nation that seeks after wealth and is the center of trade, and is the most exalted and self-glorified nation on the earth. The United States is Babylon. and all of you worship the beast, and serve mammon, if you do not repent and turn to the one true God, your Father, who is in heaven, you will die the death.

Babylon (in Arabic: بابÙ; in Syriac: ÜÜÜÜ in Hebrew:×××) was an ancient city in Mesopotamia (modern Al Hillah, Iraq), the ruins of which can be found in present-day Babil Province, about 50 miles (80 km) south of Baghdad. The form Babylon is the Greek variant of Akkadian Babilu (bÄb-ilû, meaning "Gateway of the god(s)", translating Sumerian KA2.DINGIR.RA). It was the "holy city" of Babylonia from around 2300 BC, and the seat of the Neo-Babylonian Empire from 612 BC. In the Bible, the name appears as ××× (Babel), interpreted by Genesis 11:9 to mean "confusion", from the verb balal, "to confuse".
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
