Digress -
I don't like the way the current conflicts are compared to the crusades. Perhaps some elements are, but calling it a war between chritianity and islam is nonsense - ok the islamic fundamentalists (e.g al-cocksuck) are religious and so are some americans. However, most of the west is atheist or agnostic. I know alot of people in the UK/ Europe and only a fraction (maybe 5%) of them have some loosley held religious beliefs, no one else cares about that stuff in the 21st century.
