maybe they are still REALLY ****ed about it??


I would think so. During the third crusade, Richard beheaded over two
thousand prisoners. The Christian invaders developed a reputation for
being lying *******s.

In one the last Crusades, the would be heroes didn't have many
resources, so they raided Constantinople instead. What a farce.
