Mine is Boris Yelstin. This is because he was drunk, a lot. At the 1st summit between Clinton and him he could barely get off the plane. At another point in the summit he was staggering around in his underpants shouting for pizza. In addition in 1999 he suggested to Clinton they meet on a submarine on an emergency basis. This guy gives me hope that I too, could one day become a world leader. So whos your favourite either past or present.

btw: I couldnt make up those drunken stories, they are direct quotes.

hmm.. Djengis Khan? I don't know exactly.

It's a toss up between Mikhail Gorbachev or Peter Kropotkin, the Anarchist Prince.

Gorbachev tried to create democratic socialism in the Soviet Union after seventy years of Stalinist lies. Kropotkin renounced his nobility, and served as a leader in the pre-Bolshevik Russian Revolution.

Currently, I'd say Michelle Bachelet of Chile.

Kind of stretching for world leader, eh?

Of all time, either King Frederick II of Prussia, Czar Peter the Great of Russia or

Hey, he was serving in a capacity similar to Head of State. He didn't get to keep his job very long.

Well, okay then. Kind of an interesting place for an anarchist to be in though.

I know the irony. He tried his best to help the Russian people, and decentralize authority in Russia.

However, V.I. Lenin decided to take it in himself to "lead" the Russian people to salvation at the end of a bayonet.

The whole concept of a coup d'etat is to remove a government, not to destroy the military of a State. The military we preoccupied with fighting Czarist loyalists.

I'm terribly fond of Canada's last prime minister, Jean Chretien.

His English pronounciation was always a little questionable. He had Bell's Palsey, leaving half his face paralysed, so he always talked out of one side of his mouth. He once was confronted by an anti-poverty protester who got a little too aggressive, so he put the guy in a chokehold. Chretien was his own secret service.

Sure, I never always agreed with his politics. And yeah, all this sponsership scandal stuff has come out of the woodwork since he stepped down. He was always entertaining, though.

when did he tell the truth?

In ze modern world? Merkel pwns j00.

when did he tell the truth?At the UN, this past month, with regard to US foreign policy.

I actually did like him quite a bit before that spiel. It is the responsibility of a leader to maintain a certain decorum with other leaders. Literally calling Bush Satan is certainly a breach of that decorum.

Genghis Khan. No one can beat the almighty power of the Khan.

my choice too I Think

Hugo Chavez. He's a champion of social programs, not to mention he has the guts to do something not even Britain will do: Go up against Bush.

Certainly a uniter, not a divider. What's so great about pissing off the left? I don't understand because I'm not a fascist.

Stalin. During his reigh his very name inspired fear, his powers absolute. He's one of those few great world leaders to die of 'nearly-natural' causes. (Beria-poisoning accusations aside)

"One death is a tragedy; one million deaths is a statistic."
"Gratitude...is a disease of dogs."
"How many divisions does have the Pope command?"

These two leaders will go down in history as "chimp" and "chump".

BTW, if you like Bush because he pisses off half of America, can I ask why do you hate America? :p

Also, didn't Bush claim to be a "uniter, not a divider"?

He's the leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP). third largest party in canada.

I love my country. Unfortunately, the blue-county types are clinically insane, willfully ignorant or dishonest about their true intentions. Either way, they deserve to be pissed off. In fact, they deserve to be pissed on.

They also dish it out but can't take it.

Also, didn't Bush claim to be a "uniter, not a divider"?

The ones doing the dividing are the Donkocrats and their left-lib blue-county minions.

Just one example: President Bush reached out to that fat drunk from Massachusetts to pass an education reform bill. Ol' lady-killer Ted subsequently became even more venomous and vitriolic in his public abuse of the President.

So I say, forget talk of "unity." I don't want unity with Kerry-voting Donkocrats. I want to defeat them, and keep defeating them, over and over and over and over and over and . . . .

I don't have a "favorite" leader, but the most interesting one is Mobutu Sese Seko. I'm not a fan of his (on the contrary), I just think he's absolutely fascinating to study. In fact, a large portion of the wikipedia article (the foreign policy, family, legacy, and quotes sections, and about 2/5 of the "one man rule" section) on him was written by Yours Truly. Two articles that are completely my own are the ones on Pierre Mulele and Jean Nguza Karl-i-Bond.

I guess you will be in a huge funk when the Democrats regain control of Congress?

Evo Morales, probably - but I haven't been following him of late.

Frederick II the Great. I don't care if it was 300 years ago.

thats a pretty good sugestion. he was pretty rebelious. as we say in the republic of popeland, you really appreciate john paul 2, when you look at our current pope.

anyway, i vote micky collins! he was kind of a world leader.

I have no admiration for the previous pope - how can you admire a man who has the ability to say - in public - that condoms have nothing to do with the prevention of AIDS....in Africa.

What an awful, awful homophobic, racist man he was....

Currently I have a lot of admiration for Evo Morales and I've got cautiously high hopes for Jeria in Chile, assuming she isn't a liar like Lula - campaining on social change and justice then turning to cronyism and revelling in a lack of governmental scrutiny....

Historically I admire Clement Atlee - gave us the NHS - nuff said...

And Woodrow Wilson - completly pathetic and a bit of a failure but his heart was in the right place. Bless.

I can certainly understand your disdain for Pope John Paul II given your love of a Socialist drug lord like Evo Morales.
All of these petty rulers nationalize their resources and drive their economies deeper into the hole, then cry for humanitarian aid. Rinse, lather, repeat.

I do agree with you on Wilson, though.

I'm going to like Chavez alot more once he has Chinese missiles that can hit Texas.

Amen! I liked him. He tried to call for the reunification of the Orthodox and Catholic Church, and did much good. Whatever his critics may say, he is an exemplary leader.

Logic is lost upon him - the funny thing is when many of these so-called "revolutionary heroes" start entreating the Catholic Church for aid. Then I will laugh.

Your logic is infantile. The Catholic Church is against the use of contraceptives (wrongly IMO, but that's another story) wherever they may be used. AIDs is a particular problem in Africa. Link the two together, and presto! Accusing him of racism on such a flimsy basis is, I daresay, naive.

Wilson was indeed useless. About the only worthwhile thing you've made mention of.

How can you possibly love your country if you hate half of the people living there?

Mohandas Karamchad - Gandhi
Mustafa Kemal Pasha - Ataturk
Sitting Bull

Sven Olof Joachim Palme
Queen Mary Theresa of Hapsburg Dynasty
William Wallace (for kicks)
Atilla the Hun

and above all:
Zaphod Beeblebrox :D

Wilson was a manipulative bastard. He just sucked at it.

Wilson was also an avowed racist and misogynist who liked the film "birth of a nation" and opposed women's sufferage.

yes, talking to those damn dirty Red Chinese.

Mr Nixon, are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?

I am not content to merely consider the present and the past in my quest to decide the greatest ever world leader. Instead, I look to the future and see who will rule and consider those people to. In doing so, I decide that the greatest world leader is... me. :D

Though if Colin Powell wanted the presidency, I'd have to say he'd have been a close second.

Yeah, right.

If all the people that threatened to do that actually followed through with it over the past 8 years, then Canada would actually have people! :D

Me of course!

I'm going to like Chavez alot more once he has Chinese missiles that can hit Texas.

It shall be the policy of this Nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba against any nation in the Western Hemisphere as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union.

I'd imagine a corrollary to this policy would be issued, so as to include the PRC and Venezuela in the matter.

Speaking of Jack Kennedy, he isn't the best, but he did a good enough job in his short time in office.
