You're the first two responses on this thread to make any sense. If Graham is let in his activities SHOULD be seriously circumscribed. I can't believe we would fight this war militarily with as much care and political scrupulousness as we have only to undermine it by bringing
in Christian evangelists to try to "convert" a population that is basically secular even with its strong ties to Shi'ite and Suni traditions. The Iraqis have enough problems to face for a good long time without having to deal with another religion to think about. This is absolutely the WORST thing that could happen.

Oddly enough, I agree with most of what FG has to say about Islam.
But his presence in Iraq would be highly counter-productive.
Our goals in Iraq are secular. They have an overabundance of religion over there already.

You might want to learn more about Samaritan's Purse before jumping to the conclusion that the organization would cause problems. It is an international relief organization (and a highly effective and respected one at that); not primarily an evangelical one.
