I have been overwhelmed by Mongolia, its history and culture and the resilience of the people that live and work on the land.

I certainly wouldn’t use Hitler in my lessons plans to educate the masses of children around the world so there can be no comparison between the great GK and Hitler or any other dominant figure. Besides, did Hitler tolerate and openly accept many different religions?
Enuff said and please excuse any typographical errors. I haven’t been drinking!

As for the use of the words “Other Mongolians” and “realpolitik”, I think Dave Levin used poor selection leaving the sentence open to many interpretations.

One other thing, I found it a bit odd to see in NY Times’ (online) article have a link to only Hitler but not to Lincoln or Julius Caesar mentioned in the same sentence. Is it because Americans less versed in Hitler than the other two, or it’s NYT’s way to portray the Great Khaan as in the same league as Hitler?

Thanks for writing letters to NY Times and being so supportive from the initial decision to want to notify NY Times regarding this.

I emailed all the NYT contacts the night of the posting about the ridiculous quote Dan Levin used, which is quite possibly just a fabrication (a pigment of Dan Levin’s creatively sinister imagination)… as the newspaper industry is dying, their types seem to be resorting to more and more baseless folly these days, perturbing it to be legit news.

I expected more from The New York Times though, but they are surely losing credibility fast. Not only of Mongolians but of many Americans who regard Abraham Lincoln as one of the greatest presidents and leaders in American history. Did NYT really think their preposterous slandering of Chinggis Khaan and Abraham Lincoln would go unnoticed? Well, comparing ‘The Man of The Millenium’ and the ‘Chicago Beloved’ with the likes of Hitler speaks volumes for where the New York Times is headed… down the Express Lane leading the industry’s death roll.
