...and on the opposite side of the coin is a scourge you forgot to mention - secular collectivism - a far bigger oppressor of mankind in modern times than the two you list. I'll take a good an old fashioned Protestant/Capitalist leader over someone claiming to deliver utopia (on government terms, of course) any day. And after almost 500 years separate from catholicism I think most protestant practitioners can rightly detach themselves from any spiritual liability vis a vis The Crusades. Why do liberals keep digging up that 900 year old boondoggle?
Nice to see you back....I thought you retired Fairweather.
