Dear jiggerj,
Dear jiggerj,
You're far too clever for me. I appreciate the sly humor, but I don't get the point. The article's position was that the Crusades were basically a counter-attack against a rapidly advancing army. Religion may have motivated individuals, but survival motivated countries.
With respect,
