"Such crises, of course, are opportunities as well, and in the past they have produced Washington Hamilton and Jefferson; Abraham Lincoln; FDR and the leading figures of his administration; Benjamin Disraeli, Otto von Bismarck, Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle. They have also produced Napoleon, Hitler, and Lenin. Yet in the western world there is not a single leader of remotely comparable stature on the horizon." DK
The colonial and American leaders he mentions, unfortunately, were not, in my view, in the same class with the others he names: Disraeli, Bismarck, Churchill, de Gaulle, Napoleon, Hitler, Lenin.
You might want to ask why?
What about Xi, Abe, Putin?
Versus Cameron, Obama, Merkel, etc., etc.?
Think about it.
