We already did two crusades this century.

Our correct and just way to live means that when we invade other countries, kill their civilians and take their stuff, it's for their own good because we're bringing ~~the light of christ~~ freedom and democracy. That's totally a crusade.

I'm quite a fan of freedom and democracy - I wish we had some in the US - but using our noblest ideals to justify bloody wars of plunder is the most christian thing I can imagine.

Didn't Bush Jr call his Iraq war a crusade? Yes, he did.
