Rupert Murdoch.


think you're right (again).  but I can't begin to explain how troubling I find it to admit that.

Are you guys not picking Putin because he's already picked, or do you not realize how much power he has?  ???

He's the new Tsar.

My pleasure.  usually I'd attempt to derail the thread by asking members to nominate the most powerful person in the political board, but I'd actually like to see where this thread leads.

Your pick does make a lot of sense. He's set himself up nicely.

Ehud Olmert. 

Anyone who is the leader of the nation that holds the US in its thrall should always be considered one of the most, if not the most, powerful person in the world.

Putin?  lol.  The guy can't even prevent the ever expanding NATO and it's plethora of anti-missile defense systems being set up, effectively thwarting Russia's nuclear deterrence. I do greatly respect him as a leader, however.

In retrospect, I would say that President Bush 41 might be because he said in 1991 that the Persian Gulf War was a pretext for what the next century would mean based on what he did to Saddam Hussein as well as Udei and Kusai.

To me, that signifies the fact that Bill Clinton did not have the power that all those 90's democrats thought he did to be the president that he turned out to be.

 Nice to see that for some people the cold war is still not over.

Putin is a czar when you compare him to who Gorbachev was.
