Terrible idea. Sending in the Evangelical shock troops will be seen as an affront. The oldest Christian sects in the world are in Iraq already let them do any converting if it's possible.

The oldest Christian sects in the world are in Iraq already let them do any converting if it's possible.What categorization of Christian is older than "evangels"? The original evangels (bearers of the "Good News") were Jesus and other Jews who spread the Messianic message of Jesus as Savior. An evangel[ical] is exactly the same today as he was 2000 years ago. But today, of course, more efficent modes of transporation enable evangel[ical]s to travel to some of the most remote parts of the world to spread the gospel. And while so doing, they will continue to praise the God of Israel, spread the gospel message of eternal Salvation through Jesus as Messiah, and serve the needy.
The "shock troops" you speak of are doing the Lord's work, which has been commanded by God. And the world is a sweeter place as a result of it.
I pray that God blesses you with His Truth.

Doesn't this have resonance with the Opium Wars?
We are forcing a defeated country to accept sellers of
our own varieties of the 'opiate of the masses.'
Britain just did it literally, is all.
