He is crazy and his large vocabulary disguises his lack of intelligence or knowledge. I quickly became disinterested in his opinion when he stated that ‘just war doctrine was just marxism with a catholic face.’ So I guess Komrade Karl influenced St. Augustine. What great interpretation. I’m a protestant and thinking about becoming catholic. To be honest, I dont understand how any catholic could regret the crusades given the current kind of situation we have with that same group of people today. I see the fact that Catholic Europe defended itself succesfully against muslim conquest as a possible sign that the Catholic church is indeed the one true church. Perhaps the conquest of the holy lands by the muslims was a sign that the orthodox church lost favor with God when it decided to split from Rome. anyways. I know that is kinda off topic though. When the muslim world overthrows their current leadership, gaining the theocracies they want, and when those formally declare a jihad against the west and Christianity, I hope the Catholic church would institute its just war doctrine and declare another crusade. This protestant would join if he were allowed.

The anti-war website iraqbodycount.com, at the same time, placed the number at around 30,000 (using official morgue and casualty reports). Either way, that a great deal of life lost, but come on…

The British Government had no problem with the Lancet study in private, even though they rubbished the figure in public.
