The actions of the PLO were not organizied to further a religion but the palestianian cause. The crusades, you mean the christian attempt to regain Jerusalem from the muslims, following the defeat of the muslims by a french army after the attempt to conguer all of europe following the successful conquest of spain. Want to bet the next crusades are more successful.

No, but I will bet you that the next crusades will last 3 times as long as the last one - if you include the time that our 50,000 troops and suuport people will spend on "Neighborhood Watch"
Vegas is giving that one 35-6 for our involvement to be longer than the first Crusades -
Got any of that old Enron or Haliburton stock sitting around - cash it in and jump on this boat race.

Well there you go - what is one man's islamic whacko is another man's political extremist -
I guess that can apply to political parties in this country - some just hold the whacko's in great esteem while others just figue their neo-extremists.
Go figure.
