French, Spanish, Italian -- the return of the Crusaders to Lebanon? You know that's how the Hezzies will portray it.

This is a problem why? Maybe they'll finish the job this time.

Not entirely a bad idea. The King of Jerusalem, had the Crusader Kingdoms survived, would today be Juan Carlos de Bourbon, King of Spain. On their way there, in Genoese and Venetian ships, they might also find the time to sack Constantinople, and resettle the plague of Muslims in Europe firmly back in Islamic lands.

One Arabic word for "foreigner" to this day: ferenji i.e., a Frenchman or a Frank.

¡Santiago y a ellos!

If so let's hope that this round goes better than the first SEVEN where only the first resulted in any gains...and those were soon eradicated. By and large between internecine squabbling and utter military defeat, the Crusaders had their A$$E$ well and truly KICKED!

As Jerry Seinfeld would say, "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"
