Paraphrasing 15 emails from Stryker1053, Valkry214, and so forth:

Khan, you war mongering Mongoloid. Your foreign policy was a disaster. Something-something-something- tangled in foreign alliances -- something, something, something, money with no real worth, -- more somethings -- at least you were pro-life.

First, when you call me Khan, you are calling me your leader. If you are here to talk, and not to listen, call me Genghis, or Temujin. Second, warmonger is one word, but more importantly, I am a warrior, not a warmonger. I go to war, I don't stir it up. Third, Mongoloid is an adjective; I am a Mongol.

OK, my nephew says I shouldn't admit this, but I didn't know who Ron Paul was. Not the slightest idea. But I've known his type. We have them in Mongolia. Always have. The first I remember was a construction engineer I sent to Angkor Wat, the temple to Vishnu, in hopes of making something of a duplicate for our people. He comes back and gives me all these reasons why the construction techniques, "won't work." It's standing there as real as a Yak turd and he's still telling me why it "won't work."

I know, I know, it wasn't something we were up to. Yes, we ended up having to scratch the whole culture thing and go for military victory instead. But if it's too complicated, just say so. Why say it can't work if somebody is already doing it? I do not regret his end.

I miss the simpler times as much as anybody. But some things have to be left behind. Gold currency is a great way to pay tribute to a Mongoloid warlord. It's reasonably compact, and divides easily. But how much did you really need?

There just isn't enough precious metal to use as currency -- do you know how many people are paying strangers to cut their toe-nails -- it's amazing. There's far too much commerce to have it all trace back to metals.

I'm a simple man -- monetary policy is far beyond me. But it works. There are hiccups, but if you want someone to cut your toe nails, you're going to have to trust someone to maintain your currency.

The same is true for foreign policy, and military policy, and all the other things that few people understand today. You cannot run away from it. The world will not stay put.
