I look back at the Mongol invasions as something great. Overall, the invasions spread peace, prosperity, common currency, freedom of religion, the first mail service, etc. However, I would not have wanted to be one of the innocent people of Lahore facing the Mongols. The worst part is most of the so-called elites had already left the city before the attack, so it was mostly the lowly and innocent that paid the price of the elite's actions. Will today look like the start of a Mongolesque War, 1776, or Mityushikha Bay on 30 October 1961?
I guess we'll see, hopefully. The future is rarely what we expect it to be.
