Must be a joke. You ought to look into it a bit more. More hatred and agression.

For his people he didn't feel hatred or aggression. He felt it for the enemy.

Maybe not the greatest but certainly a contender:

There are many ways to redress wrongs. In an odd way perhaps, lost a lot of them. We differ.

Ohh my god, someone else who likes Woodrow Wilson? He was one of the best American Presidents in my opinion.

He wasn't perfect and made some mistakes, but he was just a man.

Would have to include Gorbachev at least in the top 10 or 15.

The following 3 men certainly made a splash on the international stage.

I would say these 2 men also made a huge impact internationally.

But if I had to pick just one, it would be Eisenhower. Love him or hate him, he was the most powerful military commander of the 20th century and also a 2 term President of the most powerful country on Earth.

Like he promised he would do, if elected President, he would go to Korea and end the war, and that's exactly what he did. He was also the last American President to stand up to Israel, and he deported 2 to 3 million illegal aliens by force. We could use his leadership today.

You would never see cowards like W Bush or Obama out in the field with the troops having chow. This was the kind of man Eisenhower was. He cared about the man in uniform.

President Eisenhower in Korea.

It must be a joke. Calling for the murder of millions of innocent people does not make one a great leader. He invaded countries that were not his own and attempted to eliminate the ethnic population. If anything he was a very sick man.
