Tenth Crusade (CounterPunch)
:''For Peter I of Cyprus's expedition of 1365, sometimes numbered as the Tenth Crusade, see the Alexandrian Crusade.''
The Tenth Crusade is a rhetorical device used by Alexander Cockburn in 2002 that built an analogy between the US-led War on Terrorism and the historical Crusades.
==Crusade==
The word "crusade" was used by US President George W. Bush first on the day of the September 11, 2001 attacks, quoted below, and on the national day of mourning which honored the death of the more than 3,000 victims of the attacks. He said that "this crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while." The use of this figure of speech was criticized in Europe, and Arabic-speaking countries. Supporters of the President's usage of "crusade" argue that from context Bush had used the word in a military, non-religious sense, such as "The Great Crusade" which was the phrase used by General Dwight D. Eisenhower to describe the D-Day invasion of Europe to the Allied troops in his order of the day broadcast.〔()〕
They point to many modern dictionaries which define crusade (not capitalized) to include any vigorous action aimed at achieving a particular noble goal. However, particularly in predominantly Muslim parts of the world, the term crusade produces the same sort of negative reaction as the term ''jihad'' does in much of the West.
