We'd have been denied inspiration and probably even our freedom without that old rascal at the helm. Whenever I think of Churchill I think of "Cometh the hour, cometh the man".<BR/><BR/>Beneath his faults was a true leader of men. I think most would forgive some personal failings in a politician if he displayed true leadership potential. I see no such person either here or in the UK at present.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-87122693224793702552008-08-19T08:49:00.000-05:002008-08-19T08:49:00.000-05:00Hello Andrew~~~~ you could be right, but then I'd ...Hello Andrew~~~~ you could be right, but then I'd have to ask why, what was the root cause of that?

Egoist, depressive, drunk, adventurer, eccentric - and in my opinion the greatest politician of all time.anthonynorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680944720744601697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-90951912739083606642008-08-18T21:31:00.000-05:002008-08-18T21:31:00.000-05:00Or maybe his relationships weren't working out??
