[Vautrin]

As if Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism are such peaceful religions, and NEVER promote hatred and violence.
Go to Sri Lanka. Go to the occupied territories in Israel. It is not hard to find extremist rabbi's imams, priests or anything.
Go to Indonesia. Go to South American countries. Look in the archives of the Vatican. Go to India. Every religion on the face of the planet has been abused to promote hatred. Including Christianity, including US based Christianity.

In the Netherlands there are also quite a few branches of hateful Christians. To be honest, you could see an example on how these people would run a country, in South Africa, during the apartheid era.

If you insist that a religion should be peaceful before it becomes commemorated in any shape or form, the US should also strongly consider its position on the Ten Commandments, and anything that might remember non-believers of Christianity in public buildings and courts of law.

As for the War on Terror, it is the War of Terror by now. The whole disaster in Chechnya, is also part of this "War." Because good ties with Putin are more important than any basic human rights of the Chechens.

And the Americans should know what happens if you make people who are far away quite unhappy with your rule. And the Boston Tea Party was just the prelude to everything that was going to follow.
