Status: offline 		This is a real eye opening story about Amway, that they are a bunch of crooks and fraudsters and the legal battles and fines they have paid; it takes a lot to be worse than Madoff.

Too bad these religious extremists don’t have anything better to do but to go to Iraq on some crusade and make things worse ‘‘like striking matches in a room full of gasoline,’’ well said.

He also has several other good stories if anybody’s interested to read them.

What in the Name of the Crusades are Tennessee Evangelicals Doing in Kurdish Iraq?, Religion Dispatches, February 20, 2009

In an exclusive interview, investigative reporter Mike Reynolds uncovers the special relationship between Iraqi Kurds and a group of American evangelicals that practices “spiritual warfare,” harbors a deep animosity toward Islam, and views the region as the evangelistic final frontier.

With tensions ratcheting up between the Kurds and Iraqi Sunnis over who will control the oil-rich regions of Kirkuk and the Nineveh plain, having these American end-time evangelicals trying to convert Muslims in Kurdistan with the blessings of the KRG is, as a longtime Kurdistan expert told me, “like striking matches in a room full of gasoline.”

Sometimes when I was going through all of those articles I felt quite overwhelmed. There seems to be so many things going on at the same time it's hard to keep up with everything.

I guess if he wasn't in there as a story his efforts to keep a low profile seemed to have worked. I just started getting that magazine in my e-mail and I don't have time to read it. You would think it would be obvious to him if he wants to eliminate the Islamic faith from the globe, my God the entire world, it would be very difficult if not impossible to keep a low profile. I guess there's just too many of them so he missed one. I think the story is true, he probably does want to eliminate the Islamic faith as ridiculous an idea as it seems.

But another point is this guy is just making too much money on war and it's not being paid for either, just unacceptable; the least they could do is pay for it, so that's another reason to bring the troops home.
