ULAN BATOR, Mongolia -- Mongolia's legislature on Thursday began debating a law on regulating the use of Genghis Khan's name to protect the memory of the legendary conqueror. The name of the isolated Asian nation's favorite son is on more than half a dozen brands of vodka and beer and other products.

''We are not showing enough respect to Genghis Khan,'' said lawmaker E. Bat-Uul. ''We tend to use his name more on vodka bottles. If today somebody produces toilet paper with Genghis Khan's name, we do not know what to do about it as currently there is no law.''

The new law would let the government license the name

I agree with the Mongols. Genghis Khan was a hero is some respects. He stopped the Mohammadan crusades dead in their tracks.
All of Europe might never have advanced into the modern world, and America might never have been discovered if not for Khan being more barbaric than the Mohammadans.
There is a lesson to be learned here. If you want to destroy the ROP, then make fists.

So stipulated. But the stink is the same.   ;o)
