Interesting list, Michael. My only comment would be that it is heavily weighted with political types (almost 30 of your 40-odd), plus military men (4 or 5). And most of the political types seem to be there because of their involvement in some war or other.

Wars we have always had with us. The only thing that changes from century to century is the degree of their destructiveness. But how many times has a scientist discovered the theory of relativity? (I didn't see Einstein on your list.) And don't you think that the theory of relativity has had more of an impact on the world than, say, the Balfour Declaration?
