Badin reference to leaders in history is mostly determined by their loss in a battle. Many of history's leaders were murderous bas__rds but since they kept winning over their murderous foes, they are considered glorious, while the other murderous bas__rds are consideredmurderous bas__rds. Personally I pretty much detest those murderous bas__rds you mentioned, even without the defeat they had taken.It is a paradox that paradoxes would actually exist in reality. That means of course that they don't exist. However, they do!

First I have heard of this story[^]. A crazy golf course with holes featuring Hitler and Saddam is touring the country and upsetting people who spend their time looking for things to be upset about. Personally I think that a statue of Hitler who raises his arm in salute and shouts "Nein nein nein" when you get the ball through him is genius. Should ridiculing very bad men, making them a part of a children's game, be a bad thing? Or should these men not be used in such frivolous ways because they did such bad, bad things?

I think it's very humane, after all, Hitler did need another ball.

The interesting thing about Genghis was that he was religiously tolerant and had Muslim, Christian & Buddhist consultants.

Beat me to it. However, a variation of your sig would be appropriate here as well.

Seems reasonable to me. Although, I think a quick hit with the Mashie Niblick would do the job just as well. You don't want your niblick mashied, especially if you get caught in the cleeks.

There wouldn't be much fuss if this golf course featured Blair and Bush, and looking at it neutrally was Saddam any worse than these two?
Neither Bush or Blair pulled people out of Congress/Parliament to shoot them in the head, so I'd say probably not. I'd make an exception for Ed Balls, however.

What is the alternative? Boost them as Bogeymen, out to get children? Wallow in their crimes against their fellow men? (The History Channel has that covered, pretty much) Or ignore them, and let them pass out of memory; save for the very few historians? (Who remembers Pol Pot these days, or Yakubu Gowon, or Mengistu Haile Mariam, or Leopold II of Belgium, or Vlad the Impaler, or...) Remember what historians say: "Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it".

Well, conspiracies aside that was suicide. And yes, a good man ended up dead and the previous Government did have blood on its hands, maybe. But I still don't think there is any comparison between elected democratic leaders and a tyrannical dictator with a penchant for killing his own people.

Really? You do realise that that is the only recorded case of somebody successfully committing suicide by slitting their wrists sideways? The reason being that if you slit across your arms ( as Kelly supposedly did) then the arteries are able to clot before you bleed to death (hence how people are able to cut their arms off when trapped and still survive). The only way to kill yourself by slitting your wrists is to slice up the artery (a very hard thing to achieve).
