Of course he has...I was saying that it would be a mistake for us to follow his lead by framing the issue in the same way. If the west uses words like "crusade" or threatens to "invade them and convert them to Christianity" then you are going to push the Islamic moderates away from you. I'm sure that everyone here would like for tensions to ease with the Middle East, but using inflammatory language is not the way to do it. Global politics require subtlety.
