Crusader grab-it

This is interesting. I've never heard of the West referred to as "Crusader governments" before. Under the circumstances, I suppose it's an apt characterization. Of course I'm not in favour of having our cities bombed, but given what certain Westerners are happy to see done to Baghdad and other places in the Middle East, I can hardly claim to be surprised, or even particularly outraged. I'm sure if the shoe were on the other foot, we'd be doing exactly the same thing.
