King Friedrich II of Germany simply negotiated with the caliph running Jerusalem at the time, and they struck a deal and the gates were opened wide. And this was AFTER Friedrich was excommunicated. He simply gave them an offer they couldn't refuse.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544216856514863432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624625396553110110.post-61138286439312103972010-01-11T19:06:51.616-06:002010-01-11T19:06:51.616-06:00Barnesy-Yes.

Rather a shame that Bugs Bunny has more wit and wile than our TSA does at times, though.<br /><br />Doc-It may be that the Al-Qaida organization in time will simply become a regional issue, or fizzle into irrelevance. They don't seem to be able to do more than pinpricks at this point.<br /><br />Bangar-You mean you didn't send the instructions along? Tsk, tsk...<br /><br />Rhino-Hey, stranger! Stay ice-free down there in Georgia! Perhaps passengers subduing these people will get the point across that all the security procedures in the world won't.<br /><br />Steve-Yeah! The art of the deal! Outbid your opponents. If George Steinbrenner had been Pope in the First Crusade, he'd have simply tossed buckets of cash and incentives at the top Muslim leaders and won the whole Holy Land.yankeedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030949627569532413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624625396553110110.post-75320705466127808122010-01-11T10:37:11.072-06:002010-01-11T10:37:11.072-06:00Pope Urban II missed a good PR opportunity when, i...Pope Urban II missed a good PR opportunity when, in announcing the First Crusade, he included, "All Muslim defenders of Jerusalem will be given Seventy THREE virgins if you just let us have the place.
