The evil dictators of history were getting bored in Hell, so they decided to take a look at Earth and see if there were any good wars going on.
Gengis Khan said "If I had the American army I could have ruled the world".
Hitler said "If I had the American's weapons all of Europe would be speaking German".
Napolean said "If I had Fox News the French people wouldn't know what happened in Moscow".

@Ambulocetus @raganwald I think its a little strange to compare the Khan of Khans to the rest of them. He was good at delegating and building loyalty, he was religiously tolerant, but he was not actually a very good general.
