It will be said that the rush to "Christianize" the Iraqis is proof that this was a crusade. It will be said that there is little difference between killing non-believers, and rushing in to preach after someone else has killed them.
To make matters worse, the issue will be framed in such a way that it will look like the President's crusade. You can already see the tie-ins being made in this article between the missionaries and George Bush.
Sometimes wisdom is shown not by knowing what to say, but by knowing when to say it. For these aggressive Christian ministries, it is time to show that wisdom.
Who cares what will be said. It **is** said that this war is for Iraq's oil. It **is** said that we simply want to occupy and take over Iraq. It **is** said that this war is becasue Bush couldn't be an effective diplomat. All of which are false. Simply becasue people will make false statements doesn't mean that one should run from them. It's not like we are having our military convert all of the Iraqis to Christianity or they will be shot. People are going there on their own, without government sponsorship, to spread the Word. That's not a bad thing.
