"The Crusades were justified."
At that time and under those circumstances I couldn't agree with your more - I don't believe I've seen that level of agression by Iraq lately.

At the time of the Crusades.....the CHRISTIANS in the Middle east were for the MOST PART Eastern Orthodox!!
There were millions of members of that Church in the Balkans, Russia, Romania, Bulgaria, Eastern Poland, Africa, Armenia, Georgia and other places.
You need to read a history of the Orthodox Church!!

"The Crusades were justified." At that time and under those circumstances I couldn't agree with your more - I don't believe I've seen that level of agression by Iraq lately.At least you are honest in admitting that you want to see millions of dead Americans before you'll consider Saddam as a justified target. However, with the wisdom we learned from Chamberlain's policy of appeasement, we know with certainty that Evil Tyrants are simply encouraged by the kind of cowardly inaction that you support. Saddam has
- gassed entire villages of his own people,
- has invaded weaker neighbors in search of wealth and resources,
- has "rattled his sabre" at the US repeatedly,
- has organized massive anti-US protests chanting for "Death to America",
- pays the families of suicide-bombers for killing innocent civilians in other nations (and Americans have been killed there as well),
- harbors known terrorists (Abu Nidal is a glaring example),
- and refuses to allow weapons inspectors to verify that he has not stock-piled weapons that would destroy massive numbers of innocent civilians.
In other words, he is an Evil Tyrant bent on acquisition-through-warfare and murdering civilians he does not like, just as Hitler was. Therefore, an attack on Saddam is totally justified. I can only hope that when war begins in earnest, you will continue to make the same moronic statements and are imprisoned for sedition.
