Thanks for the ping.

Yassar needs mo money - he should start up an offshore casino - all the Arabs will come (especially the rich Saudis).

Now that Saddam and sons aren't paying suicide bomber's families to kill innocent Israeli children, the money has to come from somewhere doesn't it?

Descendents of the mongols

Possibly in Iraq not south of that. I don't think the Mongols or the Turkic troops under Tamerlane managed to create any ethnic impact on the natives there. Also, the Turks in Turkey aren't mostly Turkic, they are Lydian, Hittite, etc. -- Indo-European mostly.
Mongols also invaded parts of Eastern Europe but they were never so numerous as to pass down their genes in any large quantities. in smaller quantities, nearly all of us whose ancestors come from Eurasia have some Mongol blood in us.
