The discus, the object to be thrown, is a heavy lenticular disc with a weight of 2 m (6 ft 61⁄2 in) and diameter of 219 m (718 ft 6 in) for the men's event, and a weight of 1 m (3 ft 31⁄4 in) and diameter of 180 m (590 ft 61⁄2 in) for the women's event.

No, there are various groups, who would like to liken to the Crusades for there own purpose. For example you have Al Qaeda who want to sell a lot of the conflict as a new Crusade, so as to draw people to there cause, as Crusaders are basically the bad guys.

Then there a groups on the other side, who similarly like to paint things in a similar light for there own reason.

I would liken the situation in the Middle East, to what was happening in Europe in the first half of the 20th Century. Lot of wars, turmoil and instability, over various reasons, land, money, power, oil, ideology etc.

Crusades is the best IMO
Then Raiders
Then Temple
And no one cares about Crystal Skull.

...Wait this isn't the Film forum ?

No you give your opinion because the above is utterly meaningless.

(Normally I hate those "Give your opinion OP" posts because a newspaper article is plenty IMO, it's self explanatory, but this OP brings laziness to another dimension).

And with that summation, all in favour of the ayes please vote...... and the nays ...... Ah I think.... yes, the ayes have it.

Busted Flat.

The so called Christians won the first crusade, but thanks to the war criminals in the Bush admin, and his poodle in the UK, the war is starting to get out of control.

The gulf has long been seen as "a stupendous source of strategic power, and one of the greatest material prizes in world history".
