I believe the quote has also been updated (ref: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Conan_the_Barbarian) 
:

Khitan General: We have won again. This is good! But what is best in  
life?
Khitan Warrior: The open steppe, a fleet horse, falcons at your wrist,  
and the wind in your hair.
Khitan General: Wrong! Conan, what is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear  
the lamentations of their women!
Khitan General: That is good.
In honor of the great Arnold Schwarzenegger (who delivered these lines  
as pure poetry in the first Conan movie), I believe it would only be  
right to replace Genghis' quote with the above!
