LaHaye wasn't above urging the crowd in Wichita to preorder the new Left Behind book on the Internet "'cause I'm not sure you'll get it if you don't." But he doesn't beg like a cheap televangelist. Nor does he bluster like Jerry Falwell or Jesse Jackson. If he's having an argument--something that happens a lot when you fight for a single political and religious viewpoint all your life--LaHaye doesn't get louder; he gets softer.

If even a fraction of India's 6 million cell-phone users sign on, he will have success. Not bad for a man who once planned to sell sandwiches on the streets of Bangalore...
...America has no love for us—Bush even less than his father, who would never be so openly sectarian as to name Jesus Christ as his favorite political philosopher. The Bush administration’s only concerns in the Middle East are security (for America) and cheap oil (for America), and Bush and Cheney would sell out Middle East peace in a second if it meant removing Saddam Hussein from power...
