Re: Jenghiz Kahn

Naw, Duhbya is more like Kublai. Only hope he doesn't run into the Marmalukes.

There is some revelence comparing the US to the Monguls, however.

Both owe their military superiority to technological innovation. The US tech advantage is published daily. The Mongul advantage was the development of the stirrup. These horse soldiers could shoot an arrow while still mounted and ride on. They were the first with this ability and it gave them a decided edge over their enemies.

The fame of Timujin in India comes from the pyramid of enemy skull he constructed as a symbol.

But, keep in mind these were savages. We kill from eight miles in the sky with surgical precision. It is best to avoid the up close and personal when possible.

Ain't our evolutionary progress wonderful?
