I would expect no less a simple minded (despise interpretation) observation from you J_F. Today if I used the word crusade in an informal discussion I would not automatically think back to "The Cursades" I would use the term to mean A vigorous concerted movement for a cause or against an abuse. or crusade n 1: a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end; "he supported populist campaigns"; "they worked in the cause of world peace"; "the team was ready for a drive toward the pennant"; "the movement to end slavery"; "contributed to the war effort. I will grant that in the President used the word and I expect he regretted it. I do not believe at all that the president intended to use the word as meaning a Christian war on Islam. I believe observer article totally lies about what our President has said and his intentions. But I expect your despise of the President mind bo think exactly life the observer writer. tom watson tosiwmee
