Sorry archer but McCarthy was removed pretty much because he fucked up by targetting the army, Eisenhower and what not had enough, plain and simple.
Bush doesn't have the ability to remove Ashcroft or whatever else just becuase he set em up there and he's willing to listen to them. Unless Ashcroft does something totally wild that the entire country is in an uproar about, it won't happen because people are buying into the shit. Its that simple.
And Dragonlich... you're trying to justify actions of centuries ago?
Come on, are you really that desperate sire? Putting the blame on anyone is just a waste of time.
"Oh no they attacked us so we must attack them back and butcher them 10x worse!!!"
see what happens in the world when it occurs? And in the end, the crusades failed. Sure they attacked Europe first, but guess what, they lost, we tried to take their land back, and in the end still lost.
What most people hate to acknowledge though is that the treatment the Crusaders gave to others compared to what the Muslims did at that time is very very different (well it partially depends on who was in charge for isntance Saladin..)
And in the end i think a point to all this though is that Bush was being just plain stupid in his word choice - "crusade" in other words he hints at a holy war or as many muslim extremists say, jihad
Wow look who is being the hypocrite there? "We'll stop your little jihad with our own"
