Egwene's reasoning seems to be that if Rand sees all the armies of the light arranged against him he will come to his senses and abandone his mad plan.
Personally I think that Rand simply used Egwene and the Aes Sedai to do all the work in assembling the armies exactly where he wants them. Why go to all the bother with meeting with all the leaders, writing them letters organising gateways for them to bring their soliders if you can get Egwene and co to do it for you?
At the end of the day what are the AS and the solidiers going to do if Rand does not change his mind? Lock him up, kill him? If they do who is going to take the long walk down SG to chat to the Dark One about the end of the world? None of them you can be sure.

Perhaps Rand did indeed play Egwene, but that does not justifies Egwene's behavior as I've seen done on occasion in various posts. When the Savior of the World comes to you with a plan to end the DO, the first thing you do is not plot to undermine it while the Borderlands burns.
Given that the Aes Sedai masterplan for the last Battle seem to be 1)get Rand to Shayol Ghul 2) make him bleed on the rocks and presto! no more Dark One 3) get world back to the fading dump it was before Rand interfered, I most certianely can see Egwene leadning all the Aes Sedai to kidnap Rand and hold him until he sees "reason", For his own good of course. Remember Perrin has to be there for Rand twice to save him from female channellers.

Her arguably irrational objections might be a result of Aran'gar's compulsion. *NM*

Especially that she is gathering armies to convince/force Rand...

Rand is the Dragon Reborn. That doesn't mean he's the savior of the world.

Absolutely. I suspected he was doing this the moment he organised another meeting. *NM*

Her objection is based out of a fear borne of good reasoning

Of course you'd say that. You just won't get past your prejudice in favor of her, can you?

"Wait, Rand! You have 2,394 more privates to hear from, and then the corporals...." Yeah. Great plan

Exactly: Egwene knows what she knows, including the fact that LTT knows a HELLUVA lot more.
