Today in history class we were discussing the crusades, and then he asked whether or not we were in a crusades right now, but rather for religious reasons for political reasons. Then i thought of the idea that history repeats itself. Also, it seems that we've learned nothing from history, we haven't stopped doing evil things, we've just gotten better at it. To the muslims this is a crusade, but what war can this be compared to in the U.S. eyes?

I think this is more to do with the war with Athens and Sparta than the Crusades. Fully aware of Bush and his religious backing of him and officials of religion. Seeing how Athens had a empire and enforced it's views in it's allies to fight for them and being imperial, sounds more at home.

The main reason why the crusades was for trade. Christians traders and pilgrims going into the Holy land was not promised safety, they were attacked since most of the wealth came from them. The destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the pleas from the Byzantine Empire to aid from attack. If they fell rest of Europe would be open to attack. This doesn't justify the Pope killing off political enemies by any means.

and even thougn those wars were similar they could have also been stoped, for sparta and athens were sister states that bouth belong to the greek empire, and the crusades althoug war does obtaion land sonner or latter someone stronger comes along and so it never ends, but the crusaders never realised this and were domed to fail from the start. the corruption of the church at the time should have been enough to make the knight realise that tring to take that land was wrong.

Well seeing how the main Crusader army was pheasants with knights as support class. You have to ask yourself, how educated the overall army was?

Richard the First knew Arabic as did other knights around him in the other Crusades. Just being in Western Europe made you next to the Pope after your own rule. Ask the Holy Roman Empire about what this does if a leader pissed off the Pope.

Sparta wanted Athens to stop it's expansion over Greece. They were sister states, though many wars could have been stopped. But then again we see that over and over again.

Of course, have you ever heard of a POOR president? or a poor politician? Now a days millions of dollars are spent in running for the presidency, although there are sponsors, they still have to be REALLY rich, therefore they don't experience the same things as a middle class or lower class sees, they can't really represent the people, because they have no idea of what there trying to change...

Well, both Barack and Michelle Obama were blue-collar growing up, and only paid off their student loans a few years ago.
