I am nominating Winston Churchill as the best leader in history. He got his country through the war and started the built-up after the war. A winning country in a war (if that exists at all) is always lagging behind economically afterwards and he could not avoid that but I think a great leader is also there to unite the people of a country and he did that very well. \n\nAs for the worst leader I was doubting between Hitler and Stalin. Not only did they kill an enourmous amount of people, either by war or by torture and execution. They got the countries at war with the rest of the world basically. Besides that they left their country and its people in a deplorable state, from which I think Russia is still recovering.

Current - Nelson Mandela: I marvel at the way he could forgive people for the attrocious things they did to him and other's. He embodies the cure to the human condition. \n\nPast - King Solomon: The wisest man to have graced the earth. Ther wasn't a case/ problem he could not solve. To have his wisdom and just inclination instruct me would leave me awe struck.

Alexander the Great is by far the greatest military leader of all time. He was able to conquer most of the known world before the age of 20. There were more cities named after him than years he had lived at the time of their inception. His tactics were the basis of all major generals to come after, including Caesar, Hannibal, Charlemagne, Napoleon, Lee, Patton, Hitler...\nHe lived over 2,000 years ago, and to this day his tactics are discussed in military academies. He was, and still is, the greatest.

Jesus Christ.\nMother Theresa (I'm not Catholic by the way.)\nGhandi\nJoan of Arc\nKing Henry V\nWilliam Wallace\nEl Cid\n\nIf you want someone still living, it gets harder. Real leaders seem to have become all but extinct.  I'm thinking..... thinking....\n\nThere's a British officer that was on the news this week.... Can't remember his name.  But he is doing things in Iraq that are courageous, unique, and peace-building.  If you can find an article about that... and get his name... I think he may qualify.\n\nSue
