I don’t think things have really changed for a thousand years or more in terms of Islamic Expansion. What they are attempting to do is only the same has what we as Christians have done throughout the Third and the New World and we have nothing to be proud about in that respect. Particularly in the Catholic Church, I think History shows that we killed, or debased more of those that didn’t agree with our beliefs, since the Romans, looking back to the crusades of the 10th & 11th Centuries what’s happening today is most likely less violent than in that time, the fight is the same Christianity attempting to keep check on a competing religion.

Bush is a very dangerous man, I am more that happy to agree with you in that respect, I would hope that Blaire is beginning to listen to the British people and will consider the consequences of threatening another Islamic country because they want what we have and are prepared to make a stand against Bush.

Personally I’m scared stiff of what might happen if the Islamic nations ever learnt to work together, We have to remember that Briton trained most of these countries armed forces and most their freedom fighters for that matter.

Iran whether we like it or not is a sovereign country and they are entitled to develop whatever they want, just the same has we are, it would be far safer to ensure what they are doing is safe and secure, rather than threatening to spread Nuclear contaminates across a continent. I think quite a few people will agree with you that the world we bring our children into is an unsure one, but I don’t think it’s any more unsure that the one our grandparents lived in. In fact we have it a lot better than they ever could.
