"Or Winston Churchill who led the war against and defeat of Adolf and co? " You're kidding, right? What did he do besides find places to build airports for the Americans who saved his ass? The "I'll give you all of Europe in exchange for letting you bomb me until you declare war on FDR" guy?

It was the type of man Nelson Mandela was. All the years locked up in jail and yet resisted anger and retribution and he was a lion in jail. Gorby, Winston et al did not spend 25 years in jail. You are using magnitude of accomplishments. I was using the content of his character. He chopped down the tree he needed to. I am sure he could have chopped one down as large as the others did if he had needed to. And, no, I was not kidding.
