Which triumvirate you would vote to rule the Earth?

[minionofmidas]

Manmohan Singh/Lula da Silva/Jean Chretien sounds fine with me.

Of those above, Chirac is a crook, Blair is stark barking mad, Putin is a murderer, Bush is a crook and a murderer, Berlusconi is a crook, a murderer, and stark barking mad, and while Schröder is the best of the lot he's still worse than 90% of humanity. In a nutshell. And with much reined-in civility and respect.

In other words neither triumvirate is better than say, a Castro-Kim Jong Il-Al Bashir triumvirate?

No. Either triumvirate is better than Castro-Kim Jong Il-Al Bashir (er...that's the Sudanese head guy? or do you mean Bashir al-NixonNow?)

It is interesting that Blair is so insane - do you think it is caused by his religiousity?

No.

Bush is a crook and a murderer

Wow. We have some really dumb German posters on this board.

He's a murderer on account of his conduct in Texas, not Iraq.

I'd like to retract the bit about "Berlusconi" and "murderer", btw. I think I was thinking of Giulio Andreotti when I wrote that.

I dislike Putin more then Bush; Chirac more then Blair and Berlusconi more then Schroeder.

A narrow vote for the top three. Then shoot Berlsuconi and put ANYONE in his place, basically.

^^^^^^^^^

My thoughts exactly...

Ah yes, and quite understandable too.
But does it hold if you pair them differently?
Because I, too "dislike Putin more than Bush, Chirac more than Blair (both are very close, though) and Berlusconi more than Schröder". 2-1 for the Bushies.
But "I dislike Putin more than Blair, Berlusconi more than Chirac and Bush more than Schröder." 2-1 for the other trio.
"I dislike Berlusconi more than Putin (you might disagree though), Bush more than Chirac (you will disagree I guess), and Blair more than Schröder (you will definitely disagree.)" 3-0 for the other trio; in my book.

You can't change it anyways.
