'Bush is leading a crusade against us'
There is an element of truth to the title of this article. It has been Bush's mantra since the Axis of Evil speech.
"President Bush is leading a new crusade against the Palestinians," Hamas spokesman in Gaza, Sami el-Zuhri, said on Monday night, adding that the group would "neither recognize the occupation nor give up the armed struggle."Speaking in response to the US president's speech about peace prospects for the Middle East, Zuhri told Al Jazeera that Bush's declarations about the establishment of a Palestinian state were "empty declarations aimed at dividing the Palestinians."

but scorn from Middle East experts who say he's once again letting ideology and
some chump change override a complex and dark reality. - Jim Lobe
