<<But it is absurd to say that a politician devoid of any perceived good trait is ever "widely admired". >> Saddam Hussein is widely admired in the Arab world. Plenty of US lefties admired "Uncle" Joe Stalin. Mao was and still is widely admired in many parts of the world. That doesn't mean that you or I admire them, but I would say they were or are widely admired. <<He may not have all of them, but that is not what you said.>> Well, which comment are you referring to? Here's my comment to Michael which was pretty minimal (and cynical). Message 7950317 I submit that many people throughout history have been duped into believing their leaders had many, if not all, of the characteristics that Michael listed but certainly were actually ruthless criminal SOBs. I threw in the comment about a spouse because (usually) one can know your spouse well enough to fairly state they have the qualities in Michael's list.
