History tells us that the Arabic people will defend their holiest of lands to the very end. Look at the Crusades, they were a complete failure. Remember when the US was going to invade Najaf looking for Al-Sadr? Invading Najaf would be like invading Vatican City, a city I know most Christians would defend if called upon. The war is being fought under the guise of democracy, but the Muslims in that area think and act and tell us otherwise.
I do not think that George Bush knows a lick of the great religious traditions in Iraq and the middle east, and it will be his downfall...look at history my friend.

Why would Christians rise up and defend Vatican City against an army looking for a terrorist? Especially when the army isn't there to destroy the city.
And the Crusades had a slightly different goal then this war.
