"I am a man fighting for a just cause; the fight between Christianity and spiritualism on the one hand, and Marxism and materialism on the other," he told a magazine interviewer in 1984. "I get my strength from God."
That was Pinochet.

Nothing like references to the Crusades to make our job in the Middle East easier.
