I must say that I too would prefer to NOT see Graham go to Iraq. It is opportunistic, irrelevant and devisive, and possibly even more than a little insulting.

He doesn't have to go. His organization can be there. But they could be targets thanks to the Islamic fanatics. Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse was ministering to the needy children in the Balkans long before the Islamic fanatics became more well known in this country for their terrorist tactics (since 9-11). Ask the families, children (Islamic and Christian and in between)in the Balkans about Samaritan's Purse and they will report what idiocy it is to criticize Franklin Graham for WORDS while ignoring his OPENLY CHRISTLIKE DEEDS.
