** Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler has beaten Tony Blair in a new poll as one of the greatest leaders of all time.**
A firm asked 1,000 business leaders who they rated as as the most impressive leaders of men throughout history.
The German fuehrer came 20th in the list while the Prime Minister could only manage 25th.
Top of the list is Hitler’s nemisis Winston Churchill. Gandhi, the man who led India to independence, is second.
Former South African president Nelson Mandela is third.
Ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher - dubbed The Iron Lady - came in at number eight.
Some dictators made it into the top poll for leadership skills other than Hitler.
Mao-Tse-Tung, who led the Chinese communist revolution, came in at 31.
Veteran Cuban leader Fidel Castro was 41st.
The list was complied ahead of a conference of business leaders to be held in London in October.
Organiser Rosalind Oxley said: "Bob Geldof just about makes it into our Top 50.
“But it is slightly disturbing to see him beaten by Hitler, who also ranks higher than the Dalai Lama and Mother Teresa.”http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-13414493,00.html

Re: Hitler Beats Tony Blair In Poll
obviously not an internet poll, or else we all know who'd have won that. ;)
Re: Hitler Beats Tony Blair In Poll
Hitler did have awe-inspiring moments of sheer brilliance and inspiration as a leader. His crowning glory was the capture of Fort Eben in Belgium in 1940.
Certainly, he was far more of an impressive leader than Tony Blair was.
Of course, there is a difference between impressive leadership and moral leadership, or effective leadership. Hitler overall failed on the altter two aspects.

There's an awesome quote:
"Only failure needs excuses, victory speaks for itself."
Great quote... by a bad guy.
