It was Louis Armstrong, not Lance. And looking down from the Moon at the Earth he reflected on the gentle beauty of it all so wrote "What a Wonderful World" with Buzz Aldrin. Ended up making him the oldest man to have a number 1 hit.
Well maybe not. Either way none of the Armstrongs coming to mind was really a world leader.
Suleiman the Magnificent
Robert E. Lee
Winston Churchill
Simon Bolivar
George Washington
Abe Lincoln
Ronald Reagan
Peter the Great
Martin Luther
Mao
Franklin Roosevelt
Teddy Roosevelt
Sam Houston
The only leader whose main concern was to protect people from leaders!
"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government." Thomas Jefferson
TWO PEOPLE QUALIFY FOR THIS , RONALD REAGON AND MARGERET THATCHER
THEY BOTH MADE UNPOPULAR DECISIONS AT TIMES BUT WERE STRONG LEADERS FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES AND WERE ADMIRED BY MANY
EVEN BY SOME OF THEIR ENEMIES.
Ok, they had some leadership chops (and I am lefty), but come on, of all time....?????!!!!!!
Lay off the talk radio.
How about:
Gandhi
Mandela
Mother Theresa
Jesus
Buddha
Mohammed
Martin Luther King
Martin Luther
Julius Caesar
George Washington
Abraham Lincoln
An Syan Suu chi (or however you spell it)
Ghengis Khan
Winston Churchill
Peter the Great
All these people led whole movements against great obstacles, not through partisan bombast.
I bet Reagan and Thatcher would not make the top 100 in any reasonable list.
- Pericles
- Emperor Augustus Caesar
- Emperor Trajan
- Charlemagne
- Lorenzo de Medici
- Frederick II of Prussia
- Abraham Lincoln
- Mahatma Ghandi
- Winston Churchill
