Khan Dynasty
I'm watching a show about Kublai Khan and it's interesting, if not, I'm sure, woefully inaccurate. I'll have some time around the holidays and was hoping someone could recommend a good book about Gengis/Kublai/Khan Dynasty.

Start game without all players
Is there a way to have a new game start without all the player slots filled? I have had several games canceled because every slot has not been filled.
Over the upcoming vacation, I would like to start a game, possibly a World Diplomacy variant, for many players, but I can not count on filling every country. Any ideas here?

Taliban Attacks in Peshawar
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-30491435

How, after fighting them for 13 years, is this group still in power anywhere in the world and able to do things like this?

But the Taliban's political reason for existing is to impose religious law on society. For a group which seeks the imposition of theocracy, the political and religious cannot be separated. The political goals are religious, so political justifications necessarily are religious ones.

You are really stretching here. This was not a religiously-motivated attack.

If only the Saudis would stop funding these terror groups

An open letter written by numerous influential scholars around the middle east. You could apply this to the taliban as well
orathaic (1009 D(B))

It doesn't matter if it is religious or political; such distinctions distract from the 'seeking power' motive.

Justifications? who cares how they justify murder. Just like i care little for the US military when it murders innocents. Or the IDF when it murders Palestinians.

All about power and control. Yes they are muslims, but that is *NOT* their defining feature. That is not worth mentioning when they are not acting like muslims.

Almost all terrorists have beards. So why aren't we seeing so much predjudice displayed against people with beards? After all, that makes about as much sense as talking about Islam in this way.

"Opposing the Islamic State is prejudice now?" No one said it was unless you want to say all Muslims are part of the Islamic State.

Terrorism in historical perspective
An article by the late Fred Halliday. It's a quick read, but interesting nonetheless. Recent forum posts made me think of it, although it was written pre-ISIS.

Mute in games
When an opponent stabs you, it's annoying, of course - but it's all part of the game, and I always attempt to keep communications open in case something can be salvaged later on.

When an opponent stabs you, and also immediately mutes you in the game.... what the actual fuck?
