George Bush's Mistake

On September 11, 2001 there was a terrorist attack in the United States. This started war in Iraq afterwards. George Bush made a terrible mistake by calling this war a crusade. This brought back feelings of hatred between Christians and Muslims.
The crusade was a war against all Muslims. This would mean George Bush was saying that we were fighting all Muslims. Many Muslims were terrified when he said this because they thought they were in danger. The original crusade was fought between Christians and Muslims.

This is what made three famous philosophers who are Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle.
