My answer is Zhou Enlai ,though he was not the chairman of China,but I think he was a great premier in China's history.
And my most honest president is Franklin Delano Roosevelt

In ancient times the greatest leaders were the ones who lead their men from the vanguard;

Leonidas
Alexander
Caesar
Hannibal

Modern times, I'd go with Churchill. Or Thatcher, she was awesome.

Wasn't Vlad Tepes a bad guy? Vlad the Impaler, Count Dracula or somesuch? Or was that a different Vlad...

I could have chosen other mass murderers, Che, Saddam, Stalin, Pol Pot, Chairman Mao, but they lack the Hitlerishness of Hitler.

I agree with this for the most part.

Although I think a leader who was totaly overlooked.

I think if you woulda put Teddy Roosavelt in any other leaders place, not only could he have done the job but he would have done it with class!

3 year run of a small jewish sect.

I mean he din't even found christianity Paul did more towards that.

Im a bit torn at the moment, for a grand stratergist its got to be Napeloen, that guy turned a country in a mist of a massive civil war into a super power by pretty much the force of his will alone, man could that guy play the political and millitary game.

Then theres the mark he alone left on the world, massive. Put one of the final nails in the coffin of feudalism and arguably one of the first in the coffin of autocracy.

Again, biblical figures are seriously low rung on the ladder.

I would say Sitting Bull and Crazy horse

Biblical figures low on the rungs...Maybe but those same people (figures) have changed an entire planet for what now 3- 4 thousand years
Christ being the most influential in the Judeo Christian world. I would say that they did a pretty good job at what they did. I may not agree with all they said and did but that's only me. :-D
