Rep Nat'l Comm declares Global Crusade
Bush Letter Cites 'Crusade' Against Terrorism

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Years after President Bush (news - web sites) set off alarm bells in the Muslim world by referring to his war against terrorism as a "crusade," the word that Arabs equate with Christian brutality has resurfaced in a Bush campaign fund-raising letter, officials acknowledged on Sunday.

The March 3 letter, which Bush-Cheney Campaign Chairman Marc Racicot sent to new campaign charter members in Florida, lauded the Republican president for "leading a global crusade against terrorism" while citing evidence of Bush's "strong, steady leadership during difficult times."

But the little crusade is a nice place to start.
