For All The Good
Although, of course, it didn't actually say this. But, from their own point of view, a fat lot of good has been done by the "liberation" of Iraq and Afghanistan.
It is interesting how so many secularists supported the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan because they wanted to transform those countries into something resembling the modern, secular West.
And yet, these same people will always bring up the Crusades as an example of how violent and warlike Christianity is. At least the Crusaders were defending Christians against a real threat. Who was Saddam threatening in 2003?
