Giap. One thing I liked was that he didn't move on to fulfill personal political aspirations.

You must have missed the Tet Offensive, where NVA and Viet Cong troops arrived in captured southern towns and cities with lists of people to be immediately executed. In Hue, a city north of DaNang that the Viet Cong held for some time before it was recaptured, 5000 were executed.
I admit, Giap was a bright guy. A history teacher, you know.
I always had some admiration for the classic sixties lefty hero, Ernesto (Che) Guevara.
Although Thomas Jefferson would be my top pick.

Oliver Cromwell.
He got rid of the (totalitarian) monarchy 130 years before the French got rid of theirs, which was replaced, in 1660, by the democratic Constitutional Monarchy that we have today after a period of 10 years or so in which Cromwell ruled England as a Protectorate.

nah...just the lies, we've been through this before, I blame the french, Spanish, Belgiuns and italians for that little humiliation.
and as I stated before, Gandi is a better example because he realised that we are not all rich here, that we indeed paid MORE taxes than any American (who, in the end the war taxes were paying for...ungrateful traitors), in fact I bet if you checked the figures, almost no one in the american colonies were even reaching the povity rife in england then....and you have the nerve to go on about how rich we were becoming on your taxes...tell tht to the people in the slums of most of england.
no it was an upper class war between them, not the common people

Are you a traitor?
I think anyone who tries to get independence for his country from the greatest nation that has ever existed on the face of this planet is......stupid.
In my opinion, Britain should rule every nation on the planet.
