Only real old-school .org patrons would remember this, but about a year-and-a-half ago Magy and I had a somewhat heated discussion regarding the early-13th-century Mongol extermination of Chinese peasantry.
This is certainly an interesting topic which moreover is currently listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as being the worst genocide in human history; (with an estimated 30 Million Chinese peasants passing through the veil of tears at the hands of the dreaded Mongol Hordes).
If anyone's interested I'd like to restart this discussion with the intention of exploring some of the reasons as to why this tragic yet largely un-heralded chapter in Human history came about.
