Tony The Lionheart, I like to think of him, much too much negative feeling here, where's the respect?
Just like the original Lionheart, he's lead us into honourable battle with the Infidel. Richard 1 raised Taxes to fund converting the Middle East to Christianity, Tony the Lionheart does it to covert 'em to Democracy. Their mutual lack of success here only serves to emphasise the validity of the comparison.
Richard 1 meant to sort out Saladin and bring back a few gold goodies and stuff (unfortunately ended up costing the country a literal king's ransom) OurTony meant to rid the world of Osama The Bin and bring back some oil (unfortunately a slight problems there too, TonyTLH'll soon sort it all out...).
Richard1 met his end by an arrow in the shoulder, will Tony the Lionheart meet his with a stab in the back? If so we must all stand behind our brave leader....
