RE: "he offered religious freedom and (relative) tolerance for different religions among the lands and peoples that he conquered."

Agreed; but that was after armed conflicts. Prior to "peace" time he killed everything and anybody who opposed him with few exceptions. One of his axioms was never to leave an enemy alive behind him; right? I had the pleasure of visiting a city (Bambora ??) some miles outside of Karachi, Pakistan that the Mongol army over-ran in pursuit of Mohamed I. It was an archeological dig, and when uncovered, bones of men, women, children, dogs and everything alive were piled 12-feet deep in the street. That's how such folks should be handled, Mongol style.

May I suggest you read Chamber's, the Devil's Horsemen if you have not done so previously.

RE: "'...accomplish what Hitler and Stalin could not, the irreversible crippling of America."

Simply, there are many ways to skin cats. Gradual subversion and socialization is one such defrocking method.

and... I also would like to see the defense budget increased to include other cost-effective missile defense systems with the emphasis upon effectiveness; but military development is not on Obama's priority list -- first let us help support the indigent, welfare recipients, illegal immigrants, abortion clinics, faltering governments around the world, etc., etc.. After all that's the way to pacify ill and hostile feelings towards the US.
