The 9 Holy crusades were conducted between 1095 AD and 1272 and supported the Papacy by Christians from England, France, Germany and Spain. We could be witnessing the 10 TH holy Crusade to restore the fundamentalist Muslim rule to areas lost after the nine crusadesr .Revolts in Egypt and Tunisia with a weak Libya squeezed in between and a cheering Iran , you can bet it is going to be a difficult situation for Israel and its booster the USA. Even our strong friend and supporter,Jordan is crumbling.
The policies of the fifties whereby we propped up dictators and watched them continue to suppress their people while receiving billions of dollars in military aid without realizing that long term these people were not our friends. The west was caught off guard with the revolt in Egypt. Who should we support ? The problem is we supported the dictator for 30 years and not the people. Now is the time for the west and the USA in particular to get down to fundamental policies and carve out a long range, supportable policy and feature a 2011 look for the world to see.
We have the best of intentions but over the years the people of the globe see us as the watch dog and answer to every problem in the universe. Now is the time to set goals that will restore our image to reflect the wonderful people and country we are. We are only a small part of the global community now and should act accordingly.Canada and the USA are best friends, business and trading partners and share a common belief in the democratic process. The manner in which we conduct business at home tells a different story. This would be a great time to re-affirm our constitutional place in the sun and make bold progressive actions to tell the world we are back in business.
