I wonder if this originates with some dim-witted Yank. Interesting that the Americans are mired in Iraq because of what the 'British' (??) did in the Crusades, rather than Bush and his evil neocon mates desiring to enrich their oil industry buddies. It reminds me of an American on the Today programme blaming us for all the ills in the world, even 4x4s on the basis that we invented the Landrover - someone rang in to point out that the Landrover was based on the Wileys Jeep, an American invention.
