Modern Crusades

The Crusades were a series of military campaigns—usually sanctioned by the Papacy—that took place throughout the history. Originally, they were Roman Catholic Holy Wars to recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the Muslims, but some were directed against other targets, such as the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars of southern France, the Northern Crusades, and the Fourth Crusade which conquered Constantinople.
In the older days, countries were more independent, and people were nobler. Any party was free to declare war on another, as long as they could afford it. The reason for a war never had to be hidden; they could easily announce it, weather it was to conquer lands, kill an enemy, or just a fight for glory…
As civilizations evolved, so did the relationships between countries, nations and races. Nowadays there is “politics” (poly-many, tic-face); meaning one country cannot attack another for no good reasons such as oil or territory. That would be invasion…
If there is no reason to start another historic crusade, then one should be created. 9/11 attacks, that triggered the “holy quest” US took upon, did exactly that.
Crusaders started the war with the oldest tactics in the book, “divide and kill one by one”. They started with Afghanistan, the easiest of targets. It ensured the control of potential oil & gas pipelines to the east. Another very good reason is drugs. Distribution of drugs within desired country can help ruin the country from within, not talking about billions of dollars made in process. Bullzie…
Next target is Iraq. Many people think the reason for the war in Iraq is oil. It seems so obvious, everyone talks about it. But that’s exactly what the masterminds of this crusade want people to think. Oil would cover all the expenses of the war, and making some extra billions of dollars wouldn’t hurt too. Even oil prices seem to agree with this plan. There was no significant decrease in oil production over the recent years, yet the prices rocketed, because now the seller is a different person, who knows exactly what he is doing. Some smarter people say strategic geographic location of Iraq is the reason for war, close, but not exactly. The reason for this war is Iraq’s ethnic Shiite and Sunni population. Take over the country, trigger a war between Shiite’s and Sunni’s, start a civil war, claim that the situation is out of control and then just watch them kill each other. Genius….
Lebanon is the next chapter of the same story. Civil war in Iraq is not a good enough reason to divide the whole Muslim world into two. So, create another:
Claim that the two of your unidentified nonexistent soldiers were kidnapped (the most stupid but apparently good enough reason to start a war), and attack the Hezbollah who apparently did it. Viciously kill everything that moves in the region. Thus, while Shiite’s try to defend and hundreds of them die everyday, the Sunni’s just send their condolences and watch. Add to this the civil war in Iraq, and you have a reason for division of Muslim world. Already, in some Sunni countries like Egypt, demonstrations took place against the government for not supporting the Lebanon. Excellent…
Now, look at the overall picture from opposite angle. The “enemy” has been divided into two and is fighting each other. All their financial recourses have either been taken away or are under strict control. One more thing left to do is to limit their freedom in the world. But, we are living in a modern world with fair “politics”; one’s freedom can not be limited without a good reason. Then, a reason there shall be: “an alleged plot to commit mass murder on transatlantic passenger jets by Islamic fascists”. Only formalities are left to do; put a stamp on all the Muslim passports in the world, limit them from traveling to Europe and US, have a right to detain any of them at any suspicion, even have a right to kill them if you think they might be terrorists. Brilliant…
As the crusade continues, more and more casualties are suffered every day. Innocent men, women and children are being killed, just like it was during the previous crusades, with only one exception. This time, there is no Saladin Eyyubi to unite the righteous, to defend the weak, and to punish the tyrant.
