I came across this while browsing through the Merriam-Webster Dictionary of Allusions this morning:

~Children's Crusade
An unsuccessful attempt to take control of the Holy Land back from the Muslims waged in 1212 by thousands of French and German children. Their weapons were love and purity, but they perished in disaster.

That sounds like an old-style Hollywood movie poster for a movie about the Children's Crusade: Their weapons were love and purity, but they perished in disaster.

I can't get it out of my head now.
