Iran cautions Pakistan over Jundallah

He defeated a Mughal army that was bigger than his army and had more resources than him. IIRC, there was a battle where he pulled off some decisive manuevers that completely killed the Mughal Army aka style Battle of Cannae. He invaded an area that was bigger than the area invaded by Napoleon.

BM,
Attila the famous Hun King is credited for having successfully challenged the Roman empire. Now should he be compared to a king like Ashok because of his military exploits? I will again insist, greatness of the rulers come into play with what they or their empire have contributed towards progression of civilization and mankind.

Why talk of Ashok (200 BC) or Nadir Shah(1700s) or us(2000s), people separated by the great divide of time which no one has been able to cross.

Alexander did not really contribute towards the progression of civilization. Hannibal did not really contrbute towards the progression. Neither did Rommel nor Robert Lee but they are studied closely today.

BM,
Please tell me how not?

He only lived for ten years after conquering Persia. He did not live that long to contribute towards civilization. His satraps did.

BM,
Its done that way. The Satraps couldn't establish a Hellenistic socio-cultural heritage without Alexander annexing the ME and Asiatic empires.

I find it quite humorous that Iran points its finger at anybody over terrorism when all they have to do is look rite at home and they will find plenty of it. That is ofcoarse when they tend not to overlook the fact that they train terrorists. Even more humorous is them thumbing the finger at yet another nuclear armed nation. Israel must not be enough trouble waiting in the wings that now they want to confront Pak.

You cannot fix "stupid" no matter how hard you try.;)

That is highly dependent in which forum you loose an argument and the average opinion of forum's majority.

You yourself, probably wont last long in a Soviet forum.

I think you're wrong.

For one thing I would not engage in trolling, flamebaiting, fanboyism or personal attacks.

Those are the major reasons why people get banished here at the WAB.

So unless your hypothetical Soviet forum bans people simply for stating an opinion that they don't like, I'd say the Yes, I would last long at a Soviet forum.

Dear TopHatter Moderator,

Forums rules are just fine and well. But I always believe more in the people (human beings) running the system, then the system/structure itself.

If you - Dear TopHatter Moderator - give me your word that people and I mean ALL the people that are engaging in trolling (I never understood what this one meant), flamebaiting, fanboyism or personal attacks, are being dealt with accordingly with all fairness and justness, then that is all that I - Dear Xerxes Member - need to know.

Your word is enough for me, and if I have it then please ignore my latest post.
