Greatest world Leader ever...

OK... "Best Leader" awards, right here.... Started by yours truly, the total madman. Let's see who wins... I have 9 international, multi-century leaders here, and one other. When you cast your vote, give your reason for who you picked.

Signing out.

No. 6!

I voted for JFK, cause he was a very good leader. He would have been better if was not murdered.

i guess i would've voted for jfk as well if my first choice wasn't there.

What type of mind would put JFK instead instead of Reagan?

hey hey hey hey hey.... There is an other TC... just vote for that. never said reagan was bad... just wasn't what I thought a lot of people would pick.

my vote goes with reagan also, he brought the downfall of the Soviet Union. "Mr. Gorbechev(sp?)tear down this wall"

How can GWB be on there?

I voted " other ".

For me, other = Ronal Reagan !

And " Caeser. " is not a choice. Because all the Roman Emperor were Caesar. Caesar is just a name and a title who mean " emperor ". It's like to write " President " or " King " ...etc...

Echelon, why did you vote 7 times ? I can't believe that we have on ATS 7 users who have voted for Lenin.

Little cheater !

Point being.....

UP, who do you think of whenever someone says Caesar? Hm... would it be Julius...? The entire Caesar title was given because of him.

I'd Bill Clinton any day!The world loves him!He's done so much & his efforts are recognized throught out the planet!Jimmy Carter would be on my list as well as Nelson Mandela & Bono.

I'd say Reagan also!!!

Alexander the Great, as the only one on the list to actually Lead the Known World, hehe... However, he was able to rule not only by force, but also by meshing the culture of Greece with the culture of the conquered, thus not upsetting the balance too much.

Reagan is a close second however...though I admire others on the list greatly.

JFK is EXTREMELY over-rated. Though many would disagree, if he served thru his term, we would likely all be living in a post-nuclear holocaust right now. The man constantly ignored his advisors (Bay of Pigs), and has only two outstanding achievements, the revving up of the Space Program (which was only done as a pi$$ing contest between him and Russia), and the Cuban Missile Crisis (when he finally decided to listen to his advisors after all). Not to mention that he wanted to dissolve the CIA (which, at the time, would have been suicide for the US, and is likely what lead to his demise).

I voted other also . Looks like leaving Reagan off was a mistake. And how does Lenin have 10 votes?

Lenin rules. Why am I not surprised?

HERBERT VON KARAJAN (You know ?) Adolf HITLER and of COURSE CAROLUS MAGNUS !
Mahatma Ghandi, Malcom X and Joan of ARC !!
Che GUEVARA, Shaka ZULU and YUGURTA...
MOHAMED, MOSES and JESUS
Golda MEIR, Neslon and Winnie MANDELA, ELLAS HELLASSIE
Yasser ARAFAT, Fidek CASTRO and colonel KHADAFI

And the one US who cut a tree when he was a child, it's who ?
Georges WASHINGTON ?

And me when I was represent of my class in school council...

I forgot NAPOLEON (In fact dont like napoleon !)

Alexander the Great. OK
Caeser. OK (But NERO was not bad too )
GWB. BABYBUSH and why not Johnson ?!
Lincoln. Whasington or Roosevelt should be a better choice

Churchill. Thomas CROMWELL, King Arthur or Queen VICTORIA
Lenin. Why not MAO or CHE GUEVARA
DeGaulle. I'm not sure he merit this status. I would rather vote for Fran�ois MITTERAND or (Nobel prize wannabe) Jacques CHIRAC
JFK. (For the time he stayed in post...)
Ghengis Khan. OK

Other (Mike TYSON, leader of WBC for 2 decenies ?).
