Zoltan!: From Time -- (this gives insight into Time's editorial bent), 20 "Leaders" who helped define the lousy shape of the world today: (Note: a * denotes individuals who made a positive contribution to the world.) Theodore Roosevelt -- bully pulpit and federalist Vladimir Ilyich Lenin -- communist Margaret Sanger -- mystic Mao Zedong --communist atilla Winston Churchill -- statist Franklin Delano Roosevelt --socialist/statist/wannabe dictator Eleanor Roosevelt -- socialist Adolf Hitler -- national socialist Mohandas Gandhi -- mystic David Ben-Gurion -- socialist Ho Chi Minh -- communist/atilla * Martin Luther King -- freedom fighter/libertarian Ayatulla Ruhollah Khomeini -- statist/mystic * Lech Walesa -- freedom fighter with socialistic overtones * Ronald Reagan -- libertarian but influenced by statism Mikhail Gorbachev -- communist/socialist Pope John Paul II -- mystic from a socialist country The Unknown Rebel -- probably a socialist, but who knows? * Nelson Mandela -- freedom fighter/socialist who is learning capitalism With four exceptions, a fairly dismal list. Most I do not count as "leaders" or role models, but people to be despised who are the enemy of freedom. Father Terrence
