text: Right.  Invaders always proclaim an "excuse" for their butchery.  Urban II agitated for the Catholic nations to throw in with the Byzantines in their war with the Turks to gain more slaves and real estate for the un-Holy See.  Nor do I have to go back to 1095 to make my argument.  Our mass-murdering misleaders were lying about Saddam having "WMD's" and how the Islamic Republic of Iran was in league with al-Qa'eda to provide an excuse for THEIR "crusade" just 14 years ago.
