Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends?

Though it may offend you, this is insanely romantic. It can be said in remembrance of a suicide bomber who clearly had a great hatred of his enemies. If this love must be counterbalanced by a hatred, there is little to commend it. Understanding and compassion might be more virtuous.


How did Saladin feel about the people on the other side of the Crusades?

Saladin felt quite neutrally about the oposing side during the Crusades. Some people found it odd, but Saladin would send baskets of fruit and water over to Richard the Lion-Heart during their war. Saladin even gave King Richard some ice when he had a migrane from the intense heat of the Holy Land. Saladin wasn't as reckless and violent as King Richard the Lion-Heart, he was very peacful and as seen in the end of the 4th Crusade, Saladin and King Richard decided to commend to a treaty.


What was the conclusion of the Battle of the Bulge during the years of 1944 through 1945?

The German counter attack came as a great shock. Although the panzer thrusts were of limited strategic value in the long term their penetration of the Allied line was devastating for a time. However ultimately the Germans made no gains whatsoever. I cannot think the Allies were intending to do anything other than wait for the arrival of spring, because Market-Garden (Arnhem) had been a failure & Patton was stalled. General McCauliffes' reply of 'Nuts' has much to commend it. In conclusion it was a surprise, but it really made no difference to the course of the war.
