[QUOTE]Joan of Arc[1] (c. 1412[2] – 30 May 1431) also known as "the Maid of Orleans," was a 15th century Catholic saint, and national heroine of France. A peasant girl born in Eastern France, Joan led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War, claiming divine guidance, and was indirectly responsible for the coronation of King Charles VII. She was captured by the English, tried by an ecclesiastical court and burned at the stake by the English when she was nineteen years old. Twenty-four years later, the Holy See reviewed the decision of the ecclesiastical court, found her innocent, and declared her a martyr. She was beatified in 1909 and later canonized in 1920.[2]

Joan asserted that she had visions from God that told her to recover her homeland from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent her to the siege at Orl

I pick Adam Smith, the father of modern economics, to be my Minister of Finance.

Adam Smith (baptised 16 June 1723 – 17 July 1790 [OS: 5 June 1723 – 17 July 1790]) was a Scottish moral philosopher and a pioneer of political economy. One of the key figures of the Scottish Enlightenment, Smith is the author of The Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. The latter, usually abbreviated as The Wealth of Nations, is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work of economics. Adam Smith is widely cited as the father of modern economics.[1][2]

Smith studied moral philosophy at the University of Glasgow and Oxford University. After graduating he delivered a successful series of public lectures at Edinburgh, leading him to collaborate with David Hume during the Scottish Enlightenment. Smith obtained a professorship at Glasgow teaching moral philosophy, and during this time wrote and published The Theory of Moral Sentiments. In his later life he took a tutoring position which allowed him to travel throughout Europe where he met other intellectual leaders of his day. Smith returned home and spent the next ten years writing The Wealth of Nations (mainly from his lecture notes) which was published in 1776. He died in 1790.

Adam Smith is known for his explanation of how rational self-interest and competition, operating in a social framework depending on adherence to moral obligations, can lead to economic prosperity and well-being. His invisible hand metaphor, which he used to describe this process, has gained widespread use in the discussion of free markets. Smith's work helped create the modern academic discipline of economics and provided one of the best-known rationales for free trade.
http://www.library.hbs.edu/hc/collections/kress/kress_img/adam_smith2.jpg

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations is Smith's magnum opus and most influential work, published on 9 March 1776 during the Scottish Enlightenment. It is a clearly written account of political economy at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, and is widely considered to be the first modern work in the field of economics. It is often considered one of the most influential books on the subject ever published. The Wealth of Nations was written for the average educated individual of the 18th century rather than for specialists and mathematicians. There are three main concepts that Smith expands upon in this work that forms the foundation of free market economics: division of labour, pursuit of self interest, and freedom of trade.

The Wealth of Nations expounds that the free market, while appearing chaotic and unrestrained, is actually guided to produce the right amount and variety of goods by a so-called "invisible hand". The image of the invisible hand was previously employed by Smith in Theory of Moral Sentiments, but it has its original use in his essay, "The History of Astronomy". Smith believed that while human motives are often selfishness and greed, the competition in the free market would tend to benefit society as a whole by keeping prices low, while still building in an incentive for a wide variety of goods and services. Nevertheless, he was wary of businessmen and argued against the formation of monopolies.

Smith believed that a division of labour would effect a great increase in production. One example he used was the making of pins. One worker could probably make only twenty pins per day. However, if ten people divided up the eighteen steps required to make a pin, they could make a combined amount of 48,000 pins in one day.

An often-quoted passage from The Wealth of Nations is:[64]

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.

Value theory was important in classical theory. Smith wrote that the "real price of every thing ... is the toil and trouble of acquiring it" as influenced by its scarcity. Smith maintained that, with rent and profit, other costs besides wages also enter the price of a commodity.[65] Other classical economists presented variations on Smith, termed the 'labour theory of value'. Classical economics focused on the tendency of markets to move to long-run equilibrium.

Ok newton wasn't the greatest example, although his work is crucial to our fundamental understanding of the world today, but if Confucius was denied, so should Adam smith. Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel, John Locke and Thomas Paine were both influential to the creation of the USA but weren't politicians themselves. Economists and philosophers aren't politicians.

Ben Franklin was allowed, and all he did was serve as a delegate in the Constitutional Convention. I think Thomas Paine should be allowed too, he basically was a political power with the way he stirred up the populous with his essays. Adam Smith was a political power in the fact that his writings changed how a majority of the nations of the world viewed their economy.

Winston Churchill as my Orator.
http://hodja.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/churchill.jpg

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, FRS, PC, PC (Can) (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British politician known chiefly for his leadership of the United Kingdom during World War II. He served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a Nobel Prize-winning writer, and an artist.

During his army career, Churchill saw combat in India, in the Sudan and the Second Boer War. He gained fame and notoriety as a war correspondent and through contemporary books he wrote describing the campaigns. He also served briefly in the British Army on the Western Front in World War I, commanding the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers.

At the forefront of the political scene for almost sixty years, he held many political and cabinet positions. Before the First World War, he served as President of the Board of Trade, Home Secretary and First Lord of the Admiralty as part of the Asquith Liberal government. During the war he continued as First Lord of the Admiralty until the disastrous Battle of Gallipoli caused his departure from government. He returned as Minister of Munitions, Secretary of State for War and Secretary of State for Air. In the interwar years, he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Conservative government.

After the outbreak of the Second World War, Churchill was again appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. Following the resignation of Neville Chamberlain on 10 May 1940, he became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and led Britain to victory against the Axis powers.[1] Churchill was always noted for his speeches, which became a great inspiration to the British people and embattled Allied forces.

After losing the 1945 election, he became Leader of the Opposition. In 1951, he again became Prime Minister before finally retiring in 1955. Upon his death the Queen granted him the honour of a state funeral, which saw one of the largest assemblies of statesmen in the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill

"we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender"

"We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job. "

"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the Continent."
(yes, he coined the phrase Iron Curtain)

"But their generals misled them. When I warned them that Britain would fight on alone whatever they did, their generals told their Prime Minister and his divided Cabinet, "In three weeks England will have her neck wrung like a chicken." Some chicken; some neck."

"We will have no truce or parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst - and we will do our best." Perhaps it may be our turn soon; perhaps it may be our turn now."

Suleyman the magnificent: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/EmperorSuleiman.jpg/200px-EmperorSuleiman.jpg

Whilst Sultan Suleiman was known as "the Magnificent" in the West, he was always Kanuni Suleiman or "The Lawgiver" to his own Ottoman subjects. As the historian Lord Kinross notes, "Not only was he a great military campaigner, a man of the sword, as his father and great-grandfather had been before him. He differed from them in the extent to which he was also a man of the pen. He was a great legislator, standing out in the eyes of his people as a high-minded sovereign and a magnanimous exponent of justice".[32] The overriding law of the empire was the Shari'ah, or Sacred Law, which as the divine law of Islam was outside of the Sultan's powers to change. Yet an area of distinct law known as the Kanuns (canonical legislation) was dependent on Suleiman's will alone, covering areas such as criminal law, land tenure and taxation.[33] He collected all the judgments that had been issued by the nine Ottoman Sultans who preceded him. After eliminating duplications and choosing between contradictory statements, he issued a single legal code, all the while being careful not to violate the basic laws of Islam.[34] It was within this framework that Suleiman sought to reform the legislation to adapt to a rapidly changing empire. When the Kanun laws attained their final form, the code of laws became known as the kanun‐i Osmani, or the "Ottoman laws". Suleiman's legal code was to last more than three hundred years.[35]

Not only was he a legislator, he was also a patron of the arts, as under his rule the Ottoman empire started a golden age of culture.

He was also a great supporter of architecture and education. Key fundamentals to the development of any empire.

First Round Analysis

The first round had a couple of surprising picks; while the cream of the crop was definitely picked, some people snagged better picks than others. Let's review the best and the most questionable.

Best First Round Pick:
#7- Ghengis Kahn- Easily the best pick and comes in astonishing late. Pre-draft, I thought Temujin (Ghengis) was the no brainer number one pick. This Mongol emperor is well known for being the greatest and most impressive conqueror in the draft. He defeated, one after another, the most powerful Chinese empires through cunning, wit, and great strategy. His charismatic heroic personality also held him above all else, and his name caused produced throughout the world. This easily makes him the most influential man in politics ever.

Strengths:

Conquering
Governing
Strategist

Weaknesses:
None.

Hell, this picture should really speak for itself talking about Temujin.

Ben Franklin was allowed, and all he did was serve as a delegate in the Constitutional Convention

Franklin became involved in Philadelphia politics and rapidly progressed. In October 1748, he was selected as a councilman, in June 1749 he became a Justice of the Peace for Philadelphia, and in 1751 he was elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly. On August 10, 1753, Franklin was appointed joint deputy postmaster-general of North America. His most notable service in domestic politics was his reform of the postal system, but his fame as a statesman rests chiefly on his subsequent diplomatic services in connection with the relations of the colonies with Great Britain, and later with France.[8]

In 1754, he headed the Pennsylvania delegation to the Albany Congress. This meeting of several colonies had been requested by the Board of Trade in England to improve relations with the Indians and defense against the French. Franklin proposed a broad Plan of Union for the colonies. While the plan was not adopted, elements of it found their way into the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution.

In 1756, Franklin organized the Pennsylvania Militia (see "Associated Regiment of Philadelphia" under heading of Pennsylvania's 103rd Artillery and 111th Infantry Regiment at Continental Army). He used Tun Tavern as a gathering place to recruit a regiment of soldiers to go into battle against the Native American uprisings that beset the American colonies. {Reportably Franklin was elected "Colonel" of the Associated Regiment but declined the honor}.

In 1757, he was sent to England by the Pennsylvania Assembly as a colonial agent to protest against the political influence of the Penn family, the proprietors of the colony. He remained there for five years, striving to end the proprietors' prerogative to overturn legislation from the elected Assembly, and their exemption from paying taxes on their land. His lack of influential allies in Whitehall led to the failure of this mission. In 1759, the University of St Andrews awarded him an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree. In 1762, Oxford University awarded Franklin an honorary doctorate for his scientific accomplishments and from then on he went by "Doctor Franklin." He also managed to secure a post for his illegitimate son, William Franklin, as Colonial Governor of New Jersey.[8]

In London, Franklin opposed the 1765 Stamp Act, but when he was unable to prevent its passage, he made another political miscalculation and recommended a friend to the post of stamp distributor for Pennsylvania. Pennsylvanians were outraged, believing that he had supported the measure all along, and threatened to destroy his home in Philadelphia. Franklin soon learned of the extent of colonial resistance to the Stamp Act, and his testimony before the House of Commons led to its repeal. With this, Franklin suddenly emerged as the leading spokesman for American interests in England. He wrote popular essays on behalf of the colonies, and Georgia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts also appointed him as their agent to the Crown.[27]

That couldn't be further from the truth.

This also illustrates his true impact:

Genghis Khan Effect

Main article: Descent from Genghis Khan

Zerjal et al [2003][31] identified a Y-chromosomal lineage present in about 8% of the men in a large region of Asia (about 0.5% of the men in the world). The paper suggests that the pattern of variation within the lineage is consistent with a hypothesis that it originated in Mongolia about 1,000 years ago. Such a spread would be too rapid to have occurred by genetic drift, and must therefore be the result of natural selection. The authors propose that the lineage is carried by likely male-line descendants of Genghis Khan, and that it has spread through social selection.

(Continued)

Most Questionable Pick:
#3-John F Kennedy- John F. Kennedy had the potential in being a spectacular president, no doubt about it. But we can't ignore the fact he had no chance to implement about anything by the time of his death. John was the first elected Catholic, and was supposed to revive the liberty movement, but this we can never know, as he died. And to be quite honest, his legacy didn't follow behind him (perhaps that was the intention?)l

Strengths:

Negotiator
Charismatic

Weaknesses:

Non-lasting impression
Never accomplished anything to be worthy of a first round pick

Overall Analysis
There were quite a few good picks this round. I had my eye on Alexander the Great right up till he was picked, and Attila the Hun caught me by surprise as it was a fantastic pick. Some other picks, however, make me scratch my head. Stalin #1? He was influential in his own aura, but his accomplishments overall are not of one that should be picked first, as he was unable to win anything alone. More fitting for a second/third round pick in my opinion. Also, King Leonidas, a great pick if we are picking solely on strength of military per capita. However, Leonidas I was only in control of a single city-state, was a below average negotiator, and ended up weakening Sparta in the long run, despite his heroics on a battlefield.

I'm not. Mongolia didn't even have a written language until Ghengis had chinese scribes create one. Their culture was basically yak farming. What are you under the impression that he gave to the rest of the world?

Since ancient times, the many tribes of the Mongol people have used correspondingly numerous written systems. reflecting the peculiarities of the development of the Mongolian language or dialects of that time. Historical data provide evidence of the fact that the primitive ancestors of the nomadic Mongols had their own script. The most antique of these indications pertain to the Huns and Uhuan. The Chinese historical works Wei shu and Sui shu say that the Tabghach (Toba) had developed a new script and mention lists of books written in the Xian pi language (sixth century). Following the formation of the Liao empire (AD 916-1125), the Kidan scholars invented two kinds of script (AD 920 and 925), which have not yet been fully deciphered. It is interesting to note that the Kidan script was used by the Jurchen. Later, the Jurchen invented their own 'big' script on the model of the 'big' Kidan script (AD 1119). and a few years later their own 'small' script based on the 'small' Kidan script (AD 1138). Thus, the history of the scripts created and used by the nomadic Mongols in the past dates back to antiquity. There are at least nine or ten such scripts.

(Old) Mongolian Script
In works on Mongol studies related to the origin of the Mongolian script, many scholars believe that it originated from the Sogdiaii letters. But a majority of them considered that at the end of the first thousand years AD the Uigurs adopted their alphabet from the Sogdians and in the thirteenth century the Mongols in turn borrowed it from the Uigurs. More recently, a number of Mongolian scholars, after studying newly found materials on the Mongols and the Mongolian language and writing, have advanced the theory that the Mongols did not adopt their writing from the Uigurs in the thirteenth century, but simultaneously with the Uigur they adopted it from the Sogdian when Uigur culture was at its peak. In the political and religious spheres, the need to transmit foreign words, including words from Sanskrit. Tibetan and Chinese, caused the evolution of the system of transcribing into the Mongolian script called ali-kali, devised by Ayush-gush in 1 587. Amongst all the Mongolian scripts, (old) Mongolian is considered the most viable and is still used today. The most ancient monument of the Mongolian script. Genghisun chuluu (the Genghis stone, 1224/1225) is the first of the 'stone books' of the nomadic Mongols. For some time, the Manchurians used the Mongolian lettering, and later it served as the basis of the Manchurian script, created in 1599.

Genghis Khan is not a consensus number one pick. His governance skills do not compare to many of the other 1st and 2nd round picks. This is primarily because he spent most of his time conqueroring and not ruling.

Alright... enough of the good speakers to motivate and inspire people... I need a General to fight these slave owners.

I select Ulysses S. Grant .... The greatest General of all time.

http://www.sonofthesouth.net/union-generals/ulysses-s-grant/ulysses-grant.jpg

At the outbreak of the Civil War, Grant was working in his father's leather store in Galena, Illinois. He was appointed by the Governor to command an unruly volunteer regiment. Grant whipped it into shape and by September 1861 he had risen to the rank of brigadier general of volunteers.

He sought to win control of the Mississippi Valley. In February 1862 he took Fort Henry and attacked Fort Donelson. When the Confederate commander asked for terms, Grant replied, "No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted." The Confederates surrendered, and President Lincoln promoted Grant to major general of volunteers.

At Shiloh in April, Grant fought one of the bloodiest battles in the West and came out less well. President Lincoln fended off demands for his removal by saying, "I can't spare this man--he fights."

For his next major objective, Grant maneuvered and fought skillfully to win Vicksburg, the key city on the Mississippi, and thus cut the Confederacy in two. Then he broke the Confederate hold on Chattanooga.

Lincoln appointed him General-in-Chief in March 1864. Grant directed Sherman to drive through the South while he himself, with the Army of the Potomac, pinned down Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.

Finally, on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Lee surrendered. Grant wrote out magnanimous terms of surrender that would prevent treason trials.

As President, Grant presided over the Government much as he had run the Army. Indeed he brought part of his Army staff to the White House.

Although a man of scrupulous honesty, Grant as President accepted handsome presents from admirers. Worse, he allowed himself to be seen with two speculators, Jay Gould and James Fisk. When Grant realized their scheme to corner the market in gold, he authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to sell enough gold to wreck their plans, but the speculation had already wrought havoc with business.

During his campaign for re-election in 1872, Grant was attacked by Liberal Republican reformers. He called them "narrow-headed men," their eyes so close together that "they can look out of the same gimlet hole without winking." The General's friends in the Republican Party came to be known proudly as "the Old Guard."

Grant allowed Radical Reconstruction to run its course in the South, bolstering it at times with military force.

After retiring from the Presidency, Grant became a partner in a financial firm, which went bankrupt. About that time he learned that he had cancer of the throat. He started writing his recollections to pay off his debts and provide for his family, racing against death to produce a memoir that ultimately earned nearly $450,000. Soon after completing the last page, in 1885, he died.

Nice Dooms, the all-American team.

Americaaa... F*ck yea!!! Came to save the mother f*ckin day yea!!!

He is often regarded as Egypt's greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh.[5] His successors and later Egyptians called him the "Great Ancestor." He is traditionally believed to have been the Pharaoh of the Exodus.

And with the last pick of the 4th round I pick Hitler's partner in crime. Benito Mussolini.

Stalin/Hitler/Saddam/Mussolini. My squad is stacked.

http://www.dictatorofthemonth.com/Mussolini/mussolini6.jpg

Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini (July 29, 1883, Predappio, Italy – April 28, 1945, Giulino di Mezzegra, Italy) was an Italian politician who led the National Fascist Party and is credited with being one of the key figures in the creation of Fascism. He became the Prime Minister of Italy in 1922 and began using the title Il Duce by 1925. After 1936, his official title was "His Excellency Benito Mussolini, Head of Government, Duce of Fascism, and Founder of the Empire".[1] Mussolini continued on in this role until he was replaced in 1943; for a short period after this until his death Mussolini was the leader of the Italian Social Republic.

Mussolini was among the founders of Italian fascism, which included elements of nationalism, corporativism, national syndicalism, expansionism, social progress and anti-communism in combination with censorship of subversives and state propaganda. In the years following his creation of the fascist ideology, Mussolini influenced, or achieved admiration from, a wide variety of political figures.[2]

Among the domestic achievements of Mussolini from the years 1924–1939 were: his public works programmes such as the taming of the Pontine Marshes, the improvement of job opportunities, and public transport. Mussolini also solved the Roman Question by concluding the Lateran Treaty between the Kingdom of Italy and the Holy See. He is also credited with securing economic success in Italy's colonies and commercial dependencies.[3]

Although he initially favoured siding with France against Germany in the early 1930s, Mussolini became one of the main figures of the Axis powers and, on 10 June 1940, Mussolini led Italy into World War II on the side of Axis. Three years later, Mussolini was deposed at the Grand Council of Fascism, prompted by the Allied invasion. Soon after his incarceration began, Mussolini was rescued from prison in the daring Gran Sasso raid by German special forces.

Following his rescue, Mussolini headed the Italian Social Republic in parts of Italy that were not occupied by Allied forces. In late April, 1945, with total defeat looming, Mussolini attempted to escape to Switzerland, only to be captured and summarily executed near Lake Como by Communist Italian partisans. His body was taken to Milan where it was hung upside down at a petrol station for public viewing and to provide confirmation of his demise

Before becoming President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He resigned in 1898 to organize the Rough Riders, the first voluntary cavalry in the Spanish-American War. The U.S. was fighting against Spain over Spain's colonial policies with Cuba. Roosevelt recruited a diverse group of cowboys, miners, law enforcement officials, and Native Americans to join the Rough Riders. They participated in the capture of Kettle Hill, then charged across a valley to assist in the seizure of San Juan Ridge, the highest point of which is San Juan Hill.

The most famous of all the units fighting in Cuba, the "Rough Riders" was the name given to the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt resigned his position as Assistant Secretary of the Navy in May 1898 to join the volunteer cavalry. The original plan for this unit called for filling it with men from the Indian Territory, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oklahoma. However, once Roosevelt joined the group, it quickly became the place for a mix of troops ranging from Ivy League athletes to glee-club singers to Texas Rangers and Indians.

Roosevelt and the commander of the unit Colonel Leonard Wood trained and supplied the men so well at their camp in San Antonio, Texas, that the Rough Riders was allowed into the action, unlike many other volunteer companies. They went to Tampa at the end of May and sailed for Santiago de Cuba on June 13. There they joined the Fifth Corps, another highly trained, well supplied, and enthusiastic group consisting of excellent soldiers from the regular army and volunteers.

The Rough Riders saw battle at Las Gu

A lot of what the Greeks did, the romans did better. The Greeks are celebrated for their contribution to philosophy, mathematics and political theory more than actual politics. There are only a couple that I think are worthy for comparison.

There is one guy who is supposed to be from India that I hope I can sneak in.

Pericles' most visible legacy can be found in the literary and artistic works of his Golden Age, most of which survive to this day. The Acropolis, though in ruins, still stands and is a symbol of modern Athens

For my 5th pick, I take the GOAT general of the 20th century
ERWIN ROMMEL

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ac/ErwinRommel.jpg

quoted just because "the ghost division" is such a pimp name:pimp:

Bolded show he'll follow even the most difficult orders his superiors can give to him.

I'm choosing generals that cover eachother's weaknesses. Hannibal was a brilliant strategist but has been criticized for his inability to adopt new battlefield tactics. Rommel is a brilliant tactician but recognized as a sub par strategist, often not planning his supply lines out and attacking aggressively at the spur of the moment. Together, along with Leonidas being the Joan of Arc like figure head to inspire morale, they will be an unstoppable force of ruthless aggression.

GOAT

This is one of the guys I was debating over whether or not to put in. But he is not a political power, thus he is not allowed. You have to re-pick, Rommel was primarily a military guy, not political. I'm not allowing MacArthur or Patton either. Sorry, but you have to re-pick. Although you should have known that you must only pick political people, to be fair, I'll give you 3 extra hours.

I don't like these rules for who is eligible and who isn't. The point should be to build to best cabinet you can, out of any historical figure in mind, and not every person in an administration needs to be a "political powerhouse" so to speak. You need to mesh minds that you think would get along and accomplish the most - and assign specific roles to each of them within the house. Throwing a bunch of egotistical dictators into one squad isn't the way to get things done.

But hey, that's just me.

Karl Marx isn't exactly a political power. He wrote the communist manifesto, the theory behind a huge political movement, but that doesn't mean he himself is a political power. Thats why we can't pick Thomas Paine/John Locke/Plato right?
Right, those picks are off limits. But as for Marx, he may not have directly been a political power, but he was a political theorist and economist, enough to qualify in this category. This goes for everyone: If you have any doubt as to whether or not the person you're picking is a political figure, then just don't pick him/her and pick someone you're sure is a political figure.

Alright man, I didn't realize. Let's just enforce the rule from now on. If you pick Adam Smith, it's at your own risk because he did not have any political power, and his political impact was not that great. Remember - you pick at your own risk, and picking guys without political power is not all that bright anyway. So I'd say you're better off not picking these types of guys.

Rommel was primarily a military guy, not political. I'm not allowing MacArthur or Patton either. Sorry, but you have to re-pick.

I'm not too keen on this idea of disallowing certain figures. You can already see its becoming hard to keep it consistent. I can't really follow the logic for allowing Marx. He was a philosopher and social theorist, he didn't activly ignite the revolution his words were just interpreted.
Why not just allow the picks and punish the selectors in the scoring phase (however thats going to be done) if the picks don't fit the criteria?

McArthur was the leader of Japan from '45 to '51.

He was also going to be Taft's running mate in '52 (Taft lost to Eisenhower at the RNC)

He was also asked by the leader of the Philippines (after independence) to create the Philippine army.
Repick son. Rommel was going to be president of Germany if the plot to assassinate Hitler wasn't found out.

He was leader of all German troops in Africa, and then Greece, and then Italy.

Guy specifically said NOT Macarthur, plus he obviously weld as much political power as Rommel.

[QUOTE]As president, Reagan implemented bold new political and economic initiatives. His supply side economic policies, dubbed "Reaganomics", included substantial tax cuts implemented in 1981. In his first term he survived an assassination attempt, took a hard line against organized labor, and ordered military actions in Grenada. He was reelected in a landslide in 1984. Reagan's second term was primarily marked by foreign matters, namely the ending of the Cold War, the bombing of Libya, and the revelation of the Iran-Contra affair.

Golda Meir was elected Prime Minister of Israel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Israel) on 17 March 1969, after serving as Minister of Labour and Foreign Minister. She was described as the "Iron Lady (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Lady)" of Israeli politics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Israel) years before the epithet became associated with British prime minister, Margaret Thatcher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher).[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golda_Meir#cite_note-1) David Ben-Gurion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ben-Gurion) used to call her "the best man in the government."[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golda_Meir#cite_note-HA-2) Meir was Israel's first and thus far only female prime minister.

A steal in the 6th round, I select the GOAT president, Bill Clinton
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bill_Clinton.jpg

William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton (born William Jefferson Blythe III, August 19, 1946)[1] served as the forty-second President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. He was the fifteenth Democrat elected to that office. He was the third-youngest president, older only than Theodore Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. He became president at the end of the Cold War, and as he was born in the period after World War II, is known as the first Baby Boomer president.[2] His wife is the New York Senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Clinton was described as a New Democrat and was largely known for the Third Way philosophy of governance that came to epitomize his two terms as president.[3] His policies, on issues such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and welfare reform, have been described as "centrist."[4][5] Clinton presided over the longest period of peace-time economic expansion in American history, which included a balanced budget and a reported federal surplus.[6][7] Based on Congressional accounting rules, at the end of his presidency Clinton reported a surplus of $559 billion. On the heels of a failed attempt at health care reform with a Democratic Congress, Republicans won control of the House of Representatives for the first time in forty years.[8] Two years later, he was re-elected and became the first member of the Democratic Party since Franklin Roosevelt to win a second term as President.[9] In his second term he was impeached for obstruction of justice, but was subsequently acquitted by the U.S. Senate.[10][11]

Clinton left office with an approval rating at 65%, the highest end of office rating of any President since World War II.[12] Since leaving office, Clinton has been involved in public speaking and humanitarian work. To promote and address international causes, such as treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS and global warming, he created the William J. Clinton Foundation.

The most intelligent president of all time, he was at the forefront of America's economic boom in the late 90s, and was one of the few (if not only) presidents to wind up lowering the national debt, whether than increasing it by the end of his term.

Clinton is a much better pick than a scrub like Reagan, pumping all of this money into the Contra's, some rebel group in Nicauragua that has nothing to do with us.

Ayatollah Khamenei

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc250/AskarilMahdi/225px-Grand_Ayatollah_Ali_Khamenei.jpg

Khamenei was a key figure in the Islamic revolution in Iran and a close confidant of Ayatollah Khomeini.

Khomeini appointed Khamenei to the post of Tehran's Friday Prayer Leader in the autumn of 1979, after the resignation of Grand Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri from the post. He served briefly as the Deputy Minister for Defence and as a supervisor of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards. Also he went to battlefield as a representative of defense commission of the parliament. In June 1981, Khamenei narrowly escaped an assassination attempt when a bomb, concealed in a tape recorder at a press conference, exploded beside him. He was permanently injured, losing the use of his right arm,[6].

Candidate Votes %
Ali Khamenei 16,003,242 95.02%
Ali Akbar Parvaresh 342,600 2.03%
Hasan Ghafourifard 78,559 0.47%
Reza Zavare'i 62,133 0.37%
Blank or invalid votes 356,266 2.12%
Total 16,841,800
In 1981, after the assassination of Mohammad Ali Rajai, Khamenei was elected President of Iran by a landslide vote in the Iranian presidential election, October 1981 and became the first cleric to serve in the office. Ayatollah Khomeini had originally wanted to keep clerics out of the presidency, but this view was compromised.

In his presidential inaugural address Khamenei vowed to eliminate `deviation, liberalism, and American-influenced leftists.` [12] Vigorous opposition to the regime, including nonviolent and violent protest, assassinations, guerrilla activity and insurrections, was answered by state repression and terror in the early 1980s, both before and during Khamenei's presidency. Thousands of rank-and-file members of insurgent groups were executed, often by revolutionary courts. By 1982, the government announced that the courts would be reined in, although various political groups were repressed by the government in the first half of the decade.[13]

Khamenei helped lead the country during the long, bloody Iraq-Iran War in the 1980s, and developed close ties with the now-powerful Revolutionary Guards. As president, he had a reputation as a policy wonk deeply interested in military matters, budgets and administrative details.[6]

He was re-elected to a second term in 1985, capturing 85.66% of total votes

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a1/Queen_Victoria_-Golden_Jubilee_-3a_cropped.JPG

Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, the ultimate steal. She ruled at the height of the British empire, over Australia, India, Canada, Africa, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, etc. She has a freakin' era named after her, for crying out loud. That's badass.

Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; 24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was from 20 June 1837 the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and from 1 May 1876 the first Empress of India until her death. Her reign as Queen lasted 63 years and seven months, longer than that of any other British monarch to date. The period centred on her reign is known as the Victorian era.

Though Victoria ascended the throne at a time when the United Kingdom was already an established constitutional monarchy in which the king or queen held few political powers, she still served as a very important symbolic figure of her time. The Victorian era represented the height of the Industrial Revolution, a period of significant social, economic, and technological progress in the United Kingdom. Victoria's reign was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire; during this period it reached its zenith, becoming the foremost global power of the time.

Victoria, who was of almost entirely German descent, was the granddaughter of George III and the niece of her predecessor William IV. She arranged marriages for her nine children and forty-two grandchildren across the continent, tying Europe together; this earned her the nickname "the grandmother of Europe".[1] She was the last British monarch of the House of Hanover; her son King Edward VII belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

Now THAT is a steal.

LeBron23 Selects Margaret Thatcher

http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/08_02/012THATCHER_468x577.jpg

Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher LG, OM, PC, FRS (born 13 October 1925) is a British politician, who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She is the first and only woman to date to hold either post.[1]

Born in Grantham in Lincolnshire, England, she went on to read chemistry at Somerville College, Oxford and to train as a barrister. She was selected as Conservative candidate for Finchley in 1958 and won the seat in the general election the following year. When Edward Heath formed a government in 1970, he appointed Thatcher as Secretary of State for Education and Science. In 1974, she backed Sir Keith Joseph in his bid to become Conservative party leader, but he was forced to drop out of the election. Thatcher entered the contest herself and became leader of the Conservative party in 1975. As the Conservative party maintained leads in most polls, Thatcher went on to become Britain's Prime Minister in the 1979 General Election.

Thatcher became Prime Minister with a mandate to reverse the UK's economic decline. Thatcher's political and economic philosophy emphasised reduced state intervention, free markets, and entrepreneurialism. The new era of economic liberalism transformed the UK into a fast-growing economy.

Thatcher's tenure as Prime Minister was the longest since that of Lord Salisbury and was the longest continuous period in office since Lord Liverpool was Prime Minister in the early 19th century.[1] She was the first woman to lead a major political party in the UK, and the first of only three women to have held any of the four great offices of state. Among other things, she defiantly opposed the Soviet Union, and her tough-talking rhetoric gained her the nickname the "Iron Lady".[1] She currently has a life peerage as Baroness Thatcher, of Kesteven in the County of Lincolnshire, which entitles her to sit in the House of Lords.

The most intelligent president of all time, he was at the forefront of America's economic boom in the late 90s, and was one of the few (if not only) presidents to wind up lowering the national debt, whether than increasing it by the end of his term.
:roll: Most intelligent president of all time? There's a consensus he's been a mediocre president. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_United_States_Presidents) Always ranking 20-22 all time. I can name probably 15 presidents that were more intelligent, more creative, and had a much better financial grasp (though that was his strongpoint). If it makes you feel better, he's the GOAT president since 1990.

Clinton is a much better pick than a scrub like Reagan, pumping all of this money into the Contra's, some rebel group in Nicauragua that has nothing to do with us.
Reagan was alright, but also contributed to the neo-conservative movement that followed. Wouldn't choose him either.

Much Better than Henry Kissenger.

Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski (Polish: Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzeziński, pronounced [ˈzbigɲev bʐɛˈʑiɲski]) : (born March 28, 1928, Warsaw, Poland) is a Polish-American political scientist, geostrategist, and statesman who served as United States National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981. Known for his hawkish foreign policy at a time when the Democratic Party was increasingly dovish, he is a foreign policy realist and considered by some to be the Democrats' response to Republican realist Henry Kissinger.[1]

President Suharto

http://www.cbv.ns.ca/dictator/suharto3001.jpg

Suharto was born on Jun 8 1921. His parents were poor farmers in Kemusuk village in Central Java. In the 1940's he became the battalion commander in the Japanese "self defense corps" when Japan invaded and defeated the Dutch in World War 2. In the 1960's, he rose to power in relative obscurity as a middle ranking army officer after helping to crush an abortive but bloody leftist coup. In 1966, Suharto takes over temporary power as President of The Republic of Indonesia. Eventually, Suharto became the President of The Republic of Indonesia. In 1968, he developed a strong government party and his government, known as the New Order, restricted opposition and allied country with the West. In the 1960's, he started building the Suharto financial empire with the Salim Group and the Nusambra Group. His first big money-making venture was the Bogasari flour mills, which milled wheat imported from the United States. By the 1980's, Suharto's six children built their own empires which now included banks, automobile manufacturing and cigarettes manufacturing. For years, Suharto helped Indonesia's economic growth, as well as his own. Until, consumption and overextending the foreign debt finally caught up to Indonesia in 1997. Suharto got financial help from the IMF but most of the $43 billion went to Suharto's and his family's pockets. After riots over rising food and fuel prices, Suharto money empire was exposed and he eventually resigned May 21, 1998. Suharto's Empire lasted from 1967 to 1998. He is currently ranked as the sixth richest person in the world with an estimated personal wealth of $16 Billion US.

sorry for the wait.

1st. ill pick ben bernanke. a man that can solely destroy our economy with a single button. frankly. this man makes me want to throw up. but his control of the economy is arguably as great as the president.

So you're picking Ben Beranke because he's fed chairman? Might as well pick George W. Bush because he's president of the united states. You didn't tell us any personal characteristics of his.

Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower (October 14, 1890 – March 28, 1969) was a five-star general in the United States Army and President of the United States from 1953 until 1961. During the Second World War, he served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, with responsibility for planning and supervising the successful invasion of France and Germany in 1944–45. In 1951, he became the first supreme commander of NATO.[1]

As President, he oversaw the cease-fire of the Korean War, kept up the pressure on the Soviet Union during the Cold War, made nuclear weapons a higher defense priority, launched the Space Race, enlarged the Social Security program, and began the Interstate Highway System.

I pick the dalai lama.

If you need to be specific, Tenzin Gyatzo, the 14th dalai lama.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Tenzin_Gyatzo_foto_1.jpg/200px-Tenzin_Gyatzo_foto_1.jpg

The Dalai Lama is a revered spiritual leader among Tibetans. He is the most influential figure of the Gelugpa or Yellow Hat Sect and has considerable influence over other sects of Tibetan Buddhism.[4] The Chinese government, whose occupation of Tibet in 1959 forced him into exile in India, regards him as the symbol of an outmoded theocratic system.[5]

On 17 November 1950, at the age of fifteen, he was enthroned as Tibet's Dalai Lama, thus becoming Tibet's most important spiritual leader and political ruler. This occurred only one month after the People's Liberation Army's invasion of Tibet[neutrality disputed].

After initially ratifying, under military pressure, the 1951 Seventeen Point Agreement, to co-exist alongside China, he left Tibet for India following the failed uprising due to the failure in both spirit and practice of the agreement, and the collapse of the Tibetan resistance movement in 1959. In India, he was active in establishing the Tibetan government-in-exile and in seeking to preserve Tibetan culture and education among about 80,000 Tibetan exiles that followed him.[8]

Tenzin Gyatso is described as a "charismatic" figure,[6][9] and he is a noted public speaker. He is the first Dalai Lama to travel to the West, where he has spread Buddhist teachings and promoted ethics and religious harmony. He was awarded honorary Canadian citizenship in 2006, and the United States Congressional Gold Medal on 17 October 2007.[10] He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.[6][11]

Tenzin is my diplomat/spiritual leader.

Dasher selects Metternich

http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/people_n2/persons6_n2/images_persons6/metternich.jpg Prince Metternich
1773 - 1859
Austrian Statesman Born in Coblenz, Germany, Metternich studied at Strasburg and Mainz and became Austrian foreign minister in 1809. Prince von Metternich took a prominent part in the Congress of Vienna and dominated European politics from 1814 to 1848.
He acted as the restorer of the 'Old Regime' and the reconstruction of Europe after the Napoleonic wars. To safeguard the balance of power Metternich formed a 'Holy Alliance' between the monarchies of Austria, Russia, Prussia and France.
After the fall of the imperial government in 1848, he fled to England, and in 1851 retired to his castle of Johannesberg on the Rhine.
Dasher also selects: Ashoka The Great

Asoka the Great

http://www.iloveindia.com/history/pics/ashoka.jpgOne of the greatest emperors of all times, Emperor Asoka was a Mauryan ruler whose empire spread across the Indian sub continent and the present day Pakistan and Afghanistan thus covering a vast area. He is known as Asoka the Great since he was one of the most able rulers who ruled India. Under his rule, the whole of India was united as one single entity with smooth administration. His life is an inspiration to many as he excelled in everything that he did. The name Ashoka means "without any sorrow" in Sanskrit. Read on this biography about the life history of famous Buddhist emperor Ashoka.

Born in 265 B.C, the great king Ashoka was the grandson of the famous ruler Chandragupta Maurya. As a young lad, Ashoka excelled in whatever he was taught. Be it the art of warfare or reading the Holy Scriptures, Asoka excelled in whatever he did. Ashoka had many half brothers and he was loved by one and all. Thus, after his father died, he was crowned as the king of Magadha around 268 B.C. After being crowned as the king, he proved himself by smoothly administrating his territory and performing all his duties as an able and courageous king.

After a period of eight years of being a king, Ashoka planned to seize the territory of Kalinga, the present day Orissa. He led a huge army and fought a gruesome battle with the army of Kalinga. The battle of Kalinga made him pledge to never wage a war again. The battle took place on the Dhauli hills that are located on the banks of River Daya. Though Ashoka emerged victorious at the end, the sight of the battlefield made his heart break with shame, guilt and disgust. It is said that the battle was so furious that the waters of River Daya turned red with the blood of the slain soldiers and civilians.

The sight of numerous corpses lying strewn across the battlefield made his heart wrench. He felt sick inside. The battle ground looked like a graveyard with bodies of not just soldiers but men, women and children. He saw young children crying over the bodies of their dead parents, women crying over the bodies of their dead husbands, mothers crying over the loss of a child. This made him heartbroken and he made a pledge to never ever fight a battle again. To seek solace, he converted to Buddhism. He was so inspired by the teachings of the Buddhist monks and Buddhist philosophies that he used his status to impart this knowledge all over the world. He is credited to be the first Emperor to make a serious attempt at developing Buddhist policies.

I'm a little iffy about Muhammad in a political draft. Was he political enough? What do you think, guys?

I'm a little iffy about Muhammad in a political draft. Was he political enough? What do you think, guys?
He lead an army and became head of Medina, a city, after uniting the warring tribes there. If Ghengis Kahn is political, then so was Muhammad, both were leaders of conquering armies. His policies are still being used by Arab nations to this day, which is more than can be said about many of those leaders drafted ahead of him. What are your objections? Are you familiar with the history of Muhammad? He was much more than just a prophet you know.

High Potential

Among the first things Muhammad did in order to settle down the longstanding grievances among the tribes of Medina was drafting a document known as the Constitution of Medina, "establishing a kind of alliance or federation" among the eight Medinan tribes and Muslim emigrants from Mecca, which specified the rights and duties of all citizens and the relationship of the different communities in Medina (including that of the Muslim community to other communities specifically the Jews and other "Peoples of the Book").[77][78] The community defined in the Constitution of Medina, Ummah, had a religious outlook but was also shaped by the practical considerations and substantially preserved the legal forms of the old Arab tribes.[14] It effectively established the first Islamic state.

The first group of pagan converts to Islam in Medina were the clans who had not produced great leaders for themselves but had suffered from warlike leaders from other clans. This was followed by the general acceptance of Islam by the pagan population of Medina, apart from some exception. This was according to Ibn Ishaq influenced by the conversion of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, one of the prominent leaders in Medina to Islam.[80] Those Medinans who converted to Islam and helped the Muslim emigrants find shelter became known as the ansar (helpers).[14] Then Muhammad instituted brotherhood between the emigrants and the helpers and he chose Ali as his own brother.[81]

With the early general conversion of Medinian pagans to Islam, the pagan opposition in Medina was never of prime importance in the affairs of Medina. Those remaining pagans in Medina were very bitter about the advance of Islam. In particular Asma bint Marwan and Abu 'Afak had composed verses taunting and insulting some of the Muslims. These two were assassinated and Muhammad did not disapprove of it. No one dared to take vengeance on them, and some of the members of the clan of Asma bint Marwan who had previously converted to Islam in secret, now professed Islam openly. This marked an end to the overt opposition to Muhammad among the pagans in Medina.[82]

I don't think Muhammad was a steal at all, man. He has a huge impact on religion, but almost none whatsoever on politics. That was not the best pick for a political draft. Remember - we are judging teams based on political power and political impact. Just because he held a political position doesn't mean he was a great pick in a political draft. He would have been a terrific pick in a religious leaders draft however.

Countries still base their governments around his teachings. He was able to inspire a large mass of people to follow his beliefs, and go to war for him. His religion is still the fastest growing in the world, so my regime would always be gaining new followers if I had Muhammad. If that isn't a politically powerful quality, I don't know what is.

Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was Lord of Ireland, later King of Ireland and claimant to the Kingdom of France, from 21 April 1509 until his death. Henry was the second monarch of the House of Tudor, succeeding his father, Henry VII. Henry VIII was a significant figure in the history of the English monarchy. Although in the first parts of his reign he energetically suppressed the Reformation of the Roman Catholic Church, which had been building steam since John Wycliffe of the 14th century, he is more often known for his ecclesiastical struggles with Rome. These struggles ultimately led to him separating the Anglican Church from Roman authority, the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and establishing the English monarch as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. Although some claim he became a Protestant on his death-bed, he advocated Catholic ceremony and doctrine throughout his life; royal backing of the English Reformation was left to his heirs, Edward VI and Elizabeth I, while his daughter Mary I fought to return papal authority over the church. Henry also oversaw the legal union of England and Wales (see Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542). He is noted for being married six times.

I choose: Siddhārtha Gautama: Founder of Buddhism and supreme Buddha.

I should have picked him over the Dalai Lama. He was a prince before he became enlightened so he qualifies. Every nation needs a religion/spiritual foundation and the Buddha is the best person to provide this role.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b8/Gandhara_Buddha_(tnm).jpeg/180px-Gandhara_Buddha_(tnm).jpeg
I was going to pick him with my last pick but I realized he had no actual political power, and was merely a teacher, unless you want to say Jesus had political power. Jesus was related to King David, same way Buddha was a prince. Unless you think Deepak Chopra has political power, you should repick.

Being related through blood doesn't make you a prince. Buddha was actually an aristocrat. Jesus was a carpenter.

My nation needs spiritual guidance, and the Buddha is the best leader for that position.
True that. Also who am I to complain, I got Pope Urban II and Muhammad, keep Buddha it's a good pick, I'm guessing though that perhaps others in this draft will be against it. (because they didn't think up the genius pick themselves)

vapid, I accept that pick even though it has some question marks. Buddha had very little political power, I don't think it's a wise pick but again, I accept it. Once again guys, remember this is a political draft, it's not judged on religious impact, just political power and political impact, it doesn't matter how great the guy was religiously and spiritually.

For a majority of human history, religion and politics were closely tied, and infact when you look at the modern day republican party, and many Arab nations, you can see that they still are.
I'm not arguing that. What I'm saying is for this particular draft, whatever religious impact they had counts for ZERO. Some of them had a very very minimal political impact, and barely any political power. That's what we're counting here, the political impact and political power, but hey you pick at your own risk.

Next pick is Mugabe.

http://markgorman.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/mugabe-crazy.jpg

Robert Gabriel Mugabe (born February 21, 1924) has been the President of Zimbabwe since 1987. Before that time, he was Prime Minister of the country. Especially in the last few years, Mr. Mugabe has ruled his country in the style of a dictator.

His first years as leader were prosperous. He introduced land reforms, which were supposed to give the land claimed by white people back to the (original) black owners. This has had a serious impact on how the country is seen from outside. The reforms were done in 1998. In 2001, the United Nations imposed sanctions against Zimbabwe. This was done because human rights abuses came to the attention of the United Nations.

At present, people are unsure how the country can tackle its problems. Also, it is unclear what will happen after Mr. Mugabe dies, as there seems to be a vacuum. A struggle for who is to come after him would begin. The disastrous Socialist economic policies that Mugabe has adopted have produced extreme poverty, widespread suffering 1200% inflation and 80% unemployment.

Nobody drafted Stefan Uroš IV Dušan of Serbia (nicknamed "The Mighty")? He could be a steal...

Dušan was the most powerful medieval Serbian ruler and "perhaps the most powerful ruler in Europe" during the 14th century, and remains a symbol to many.
