Moammar the Absurd

This is too ridiculous to be believed, but unfortunately it is true.  While much of our world was handwringing about the dangers of Glen Beck, a little known visit was paid to Italy by the dictator muslim Moammar Gadhafi (why is it these people seem to have a different spelling to their names every few years? You won't see President Reginaldo Reaganiski or Geogrio Brusch doing this.)
Background: Ghadafi and his Libya have invested hugely in Italy. Libya is the largest shareholder in Italy's largest bank, Unicredit SpA. Italy is predominantly Roman Catholic, by the way.
So on this visit, Ghadafi enlists a casting agency known as Hostessweb (!!!) to encourage 800 or so Italian women to come to a big lecture/meeting.  I say encourage, but really these women were PAID 80-150 euros (?) to attend! I am not and could not make this up!  The robe-clad leader emerged with a couple of his female bodyguards known as his "Amazon Women". Again, not making this up. 
At the meeting, apparently the muslim leader tried to convince the women to convert to islam. 
Okay, so turn the tables, imagine the Pope (or any western religious leader or even our President) going to Libya and having a meeting with 800 Libyan women where he tries to convert them to Christ after paying them to be there.  So we need to pray for Ghadafi, as he really has a lot of influence and is acting apart from God's will. He too needs Jesus.
