I personally have never taxed a single brain cell feeling guilty about the Crusades. Trust Clinton to mischaracterize and screw it up. The Crusades were conducted to liberate the Holy Land from Islamic intruders: the Jews and Christians were there first. Rather than dwell on the Crusades, it wouldn't hurt to go back and read about the Battles of Lepanto and Poitoirs, the re-conquest of Granada by the Spanish and various and sundry other victories that the Europeans fought to keep Islam from overrunning their countries. This isn't exactly ancient history.

Bubba can apologize for everyone else, yet can't atone for his own evil.

Can't recall anybody bringing up the subject of Muslim guilt over the Byzantine Empire and Constantinople.
