"During the 13th century, he conquered most of civilization with an army of fewer than 100,000 Mongol horsemen. "

by terrorizing civilized peoples, raping women, burning villages. He WAS a terrorist!!

Besides, did the Mongols succeed in leaving their "civilization" behind in the conquered territories? Where are they today? Except in their intellectual off-spring such as Osama.

The author is trying to make a point, but this is NOT a good analogy!

This is what I have said from the time of the First World Trade Center attack. You cannot fight Osama and Al Queda following the rules of the "Marquis de Queensberry". Al Queda knows no bounds of savagery and if we try to fight by Gentlemen's rules, then the outcome will be like that of the British Empire in the 18th and 19th centuries. They lost their empire because they marched straight and stiffly into battle, while the Patriots hid behind trees and cotton bales and used hit and run tactics and guerrilla warfare. They preserved their status as gentlemen warriors, but lost the war. The War on Terror is one that we cannot afford to lose, both for our sake and that of our children.

The members of Al Queda do not fall under any of the provisions of the Geneva Conventions and do not deserve to be treated accordingly. Their treatment of our prisoners have not conformed to the Geneva Conventions and certainly their treatment of non-combatants such as Berg and Pearl have not.

Extract as much information from them as possible, execute them publicly as a warning to others that might want to follow in their footsteps, and bury them in pig fat! Any bleeding heart liberals who don't like it, can be damned.

The ACLU would prefer it to be death.....as long as it's the death of others and not them personally. They seem to think they can negotiate with the terrorists. We'll they'd get a few of their pet projects approved by Bin Laden, there would be no nativity scenes anywhere, nor would there be a display of the ten commandments. Instead, burquaed women would beg on the streets, there would be school prayer FIVE times each day, and the only school book would be the Koran.

What fools, the ACLU would be the first to be beheaded, unbelievers are scorned even more than infidels.

In Sept 1999, (911?)
A great King of Terror will come from the sky.
He will bring back the great King Genghis Khan.
Before and after Mars rules happily.
