As a neighbor he might not be a bad guy, I could see drinking a beer and watching a baseball game with him. However as a world leader he leaves quite a bit to be desired...the environmental problems have been mounting for years so the blame can't solely be his, my main beef with his 'regime' has been the fact that he condemns religious fanatasism (sp?) abroad and embraces it at home...

I think he was a thoughtful person and a brilliant lyricist, but I wouldn't call him a prophet by any means.\n\nAnd no, I don't think he's still alive. That's just wishful thinking on the part of conspiracy theorists.

I was going to say the exact same.  Ghandi!  Fantastic leader, interesting journey and a lot of things to find to research him.  \nAlso Nelson Mandala, he's still alive today.  Not sure if that's criteria or not...\nAlso, Albert Einstein!  He's lead an interesting life to say the least, and theres plenty of ways you could write an essay on him\nGood luck!

I think he is a man with a personal agenda and an audience that he can work with to achieve it.  I don't think there is anything holy about him - personally I find him distasteful.\n\nPeace!

I see President Musharaff as a good guy.  I'm an old man and I think I can judge people pretty well.  But I must say that my assesssment took a hard knock - a very hard knock -when he appeared on Chinese TV, during his visit to Beijing, with ORANGE HAIR !!   Mr President, are you sure that you're not going mad ?\nDon't think I'm joking - I saw very clearly when my heroinne Maggie Thatcher went exactly the same way : it was during a visit to Tunbridge Wells, when she rambled on about rhe lovely old ex-army types there who backed her.  Next thing was the poll-tax (certain death!).  I was very much saddened, but could see the writing on the wall.\nDon't lose your grip Pervez !!
