In my opinion,yes.She did far more for this country than anyone before or since,her handling of industrial crises and the beligerance of the argentinians was second to none,alas,like many great leaders,she was stabbed in the back by "friends and collegues". We could do with her now instead of the wishy washy jessies that we have as"leaders".Before anyone brands me as a rabid right winger,let me say I'm not, I am a trade union member of many years standing,I just think that she put certain people who would have ruined this country in their place.

Eleanor Roosevelt, my parents told me about how she did so many things to help the American people as President Roosevelt did.during the depression.She was a real Lady.courageous and intelligent. As her husband was.I have a picture of them both on my wall.People should study, remember , respect and honor our great leaders and get inspiration from there accomplishments

T.S.Elliott - as you well know Blondie.  I thought it was from "The Wasteland", but I have long grown out of my adolescent fascination with Thomas Stearns, no disrespect to his undoubted abilities.  He did coin some good expressions, which is a mark of ability, if not greatness.\n\nIt was Queen Elizabeth 11 (then Princess Elizabeth) who, sitting politely in the background while Elliot read his Wasteland and other compositions to King George and his queen at Windsor Castle (by invitation) could not conceal her amusement at his ridiculous presentation and, accompanied with equal mirth by Margaret, burst into hilarious giggles!!  No doubt her parents were embarrassed, but Elizabeth, even then, was cleverer than them, and hers was the better verdict.  What a wonderful woman she is - who can match her in England? : even the great Margaret Thatcher (God bless her!) couldn't.  Her son Charles gave his most impressive speech at her 80th birthday : did you all see and hear that?  God save the Queen!   I think T.S. Elliott would echo that sentiment.

The queen of England is merely a figurehead in parliament. The Prime Minister does all the work. (Likewise, no disrespect.) It wasn't always like that though. Before the English Revolution, it was the other way around. to find out more on the subject, do a search about "English Revolution."

Go to PBS.com and look up some of their stuff on her.\n\nThey had a great show on her a couple years ago that blew my mind. For example, I never knew how far right she was... omg to the extreme. She also refused to hire any other women on her staff or appoint any other females. She believed they would be too much competition.\n\nCheck it out. It will throw u for a loop.\n\nOh yeah and she also believed in British imperalism and stated she wanted to make Britain great again by reimposing the global imperalism that Britain had once attained.

I may not trust Clinton to run this country (in war time or peace time, makes no difference to me really.) Women can run wars though. Margaret Thatcher was brilliant in the Falklands War, leading her country through a tough time to an impressive victory over a formidable enemy. Condoleeza Rice would probabally be a great war time leader. Women can be tough too. Make no mistake about that.

In my opinion...and that is pretty much all these are anyways\n\nWorst President in the History of America is George W. Bush, worse than Nixon....but it is close\n\nBest President in my lifetime is Bill Clinton\n\nBest President of all time is tough i would say Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Lincoln, JFK, Jefferson, Washington, there are many more that were very good but it is hard to say who was the best all time.

Yes. You will see a woman President in your lifetime.\n\nIt is folly to think otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't have a choice next time round - Rice or Clinton - take your pick. Can you see any republican better qualified than Rice? She has incredible influence and pwer and knows the Whitehouse like the back of her hand. Can you think of a better known Democrat than Hilary? and she CERTAINLY knows the whitehouse. She lived there for several years.\n\nIn the UK we had Maggie Thatcher. The Germans have a woman. Even the Catholics in Ireland have had a woman, India has had a woman and now Liberia!!!\n\nI know America is backward - heck - it took you years to give up slavery after the rest of the world - but you'll catch up quick! :)

I believe Nelson Mandela is the most respected and admired leader in the world today. His record speaks for itself.

He could be called the "first gentleman". Alternatively, he could not have a title at all and just be referred to by name. That was the case for Denis Thatcher when Margaret Thatcher was elected Prime Minister in the UK - he was just "Mr Thatcher".

No it started way before her time in the sixties when anything went and drugs etc were becoming widely used.  It has been compounded by the so called human rights act and the children's act.  There is too much emphasis on protecting the criminal and forgetting all about the victim.  There is no discipline and no respect.  Maggie was very hot on law and order.  Not a Thatcherite but even I can see how she was head and shoulders above the bunch we have now.  This government is more corrupt and dishonest than even John Major's lot managed to be!

I think President Bush is a great president.  He is almost as good as Ronald Reagan.  I absolutely love Georgie Bush!
