Gandhi

[Spiffor]

Gandhi has some merit though. As many other leaders, he's a guy who stands for the independance and unity (well, he failed about unity ) of his nation. Just like Bismark, Joan of Arc, Tokugawa, Shaka etc.
With this in mind, Gandhi (and even Joan ! ) makes sense

Why does he have to be an elected leader. Wasn't he a "leader" enough in the independance movement? (And spiritually as well?)

What about Siddhartha? He founded Buddhism, one of the most widespread and enduring religious movements in history. (iirc he's already one of India's GLs.)

I think Washington should be the leader of America, as he was one of the most important people in American history. Abe Lincoln just happend to be there during the civil war, and just happend to sign a bill to free the slaves to fight for the north.

IMO Washington was a great moral leader. He could rally the troops and had very loyal followers. But he wasnt all that bright when it came to strategy/policy. Thats why I think Lincoln is ideal for both a level of brains and level of integrity. FDR might be a good choice too.

wouldn't it be funny if they made Dole or Clinton the leader

Ghandi and Joan were figurative leaders. and in Ghandi's case, hes popular, thats why I guess.

Abe is cool, but i woulda used one of the Roosevelts. Either one.

I can't tell you how brokenhearted I was when one of the Firaxians said that Godzilla couldn't be the leader of the dino civ because of licensing issues. Darn it.

Even if Gandhi was the most popular figure in India, if he were running things they would never delcare war.
