#1 I recall this article from, what, 2 years ago?

I lost the bookmark - Thx a5089!

The added footnotes are interesting - and non-apologetic, too.

#2 I sometimes feel a sense of disappointment when presented with articles like this. It's like looking at a beautiful buffet when you only have time for fast food.

#3 One of the key grafs in this article sums up today's situation:

That is what gave birth to the Crusades. They were not the brainchild of an ambitious pope or rapacious knights but a response to more than four centuries of conquests in which Muslims had already captured two-thirds of the old Christian world. At some point, Christianity as a faith and a culture had to defend itself or be subsumed by Islam. The Crusades were that defense.

I think that George Bush is one of the few Western leaders that understand this.
