In the most public clash yet between the two powerful Russians, President Dmitry Medvedev says PM Putin's use of the term "crusades" for the current Libyan situation is.. not "acceptable."
"Under no circumstances is it acceptable to use expressions which essentially lead to a clash of civilizations. Such as a 'crusade' and so on," said Medvedev.
Putin just labelled the UN Security Council's resolution allowing military intervention in Libya as "medieval calls for crusades".
Putin also compared the Libyan attacks to Bush's Iraq invasion and proof that Russia must continue to boost its military.
