You do sort of wonder whether he was poisoned.

And what might have happened if he'd lived.

New Ghengis Kahn did it better
OK, he took a little longer. But started from a smaller power base and conquered more.

My brother gave me this book for Christmas. The relevent chapter for me is "You've Got to Want to be in Charge". It's been clear to me for a long time that I don't...
Have fun,

New Yabut its aims are so tawdry:
At least the blurb gives impression it's about -

Teaching a new class of wet-behind-ears MBAs how to behave just like Billy n'Bally (who also motivate the kids they kidnap fresh from schools, instill M$-valuez, train an effective marketing/lying group and .. oh you know)

So it seems to be YAN Bizness as Guerrilla Warfare / Grow the Horde kinda manual.

Sheesh - this is a 'life' ??


Cheers,

Ashton

New Umm... where have I heard that before?
From [link|http://www.mercatormag.com/303_khan.html|the article] Ben linked:
The shocked Europeans were left to pray, "From the fury of the Tartars, oh Lord deliver us."
That used to go, "A furore Normannorum libera nos, Domine", IIRC.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, maybe that's where your kid should be practicing the trumpet.
