I wouldn't describe him as clever or great - but certainly effective.. for a short time.

Leading your country into a war that you eventually lose doesn't sound very clever to me.

Hitler was a very bad leader, often giving contradictory orders, misleading orders and orders than were left so loose that those in the field could often interpret them as they saw fit.

What he was good at was rallying people and using the resources at hand politically and socially to secure his position.

Had he been a great leader, the world as we know it today would be a very different place.

Nope he scared the masses shitless and prayed on the fear of the time. He was a fuckwit but did however, make the trains run on time.

For me a leader is one who has all the best human qualities in abundance and that person is Aung San Suu Kyi. A woman of the people for the people.

From antiquity I'd have to say it's between Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. Both conquered vast swathes of territories and in Alexander's case he did it before the age of 30.

In modern times, Gandhi bought warring factions of the same people together for the first time in their history (Hindus & Sikhs). Martin Luthor King gave a voice to a nation of oppressed people living in a nation of oppressors who liked the world to believe 'it is the land of the free', that took some doing.

Churchill for his mesmerising rallying speeches via radio in the darker days of WW2. He epitomised everything it is/was to be British.

(I can't include Thatcher in this list as I despised her at the time, but history will show her to be someone who took a country riddled with petty politicking by Unions and politicians alike and shook them so hard they had no choice but to bend to her will.)

In the Arts, you could choose from dozens of 'leaders': Dylan & Lennon from music spring to mind immediately, then there's Richard Burton & Laurence Olivier from the world of acting. You'd have to consider Bobby Charlton & Bobby Moore from football too.

That still leaves one person not mentioned yet who I believe has been inspirational as a true Leader, and that person is our current monarch, Her Most Wonderful Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

She has been an icon for people the world over for 60 years and has NEVER put a foot wrong in all that time. She's never made a faux pas and she has never spoke out of turn... but it's ok to be an anti-Royalist if that's how you feel. You have the right to say how you feel and even though I'd never agree with you in a million years I would defend your right to say it.

my german friends would be disgusted at any connection to being the same country during the world wars!

When people understand, in those days there wasnt much choice to fight in wars u might not have agreed with, perhaps some understanding will come..I dont think many could say "I'm a pacifist!" and get away with it... people could barely do that here without heavy social stigma..think of what it must have been like IN germany!

"whoever is in charge of Australia, we would love to live in their country.

the story about the boat that was full of immigrants that tried to dock in there country then got told if they get any closer it will be seen as a hostile action and blown out of the water, was a touch of genius imo "

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't all Australians immigrants.
