You forgot to include a few in the montage above --

Robert A. Heinlein

Is that McCain in that picture? The one who participated in the invasion of Vietnam and killing of two million Vietnamese? The one who just recently fought to push through a law that legalizes torture?
 

And "Peace not War" was hardly Jack Kennedy's sort of slogan. According to Gore Vidal, Kennedy's brother-in-law, Kennedy had an ambition to be a war president.


 

I agree concerning Kennedy and Mc Cain. Where you could argue whether Kennedy and Carter were the smaller catatstrophy compared to theiur republican counterparts, this does not make them "leaders who fight for justice".

And McCain is just one more extremist-right nutcase.

And Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu is TOTALLY off the track, being a CIA asset and torturing people (NO analgesia for cancer patients, NO separation of curable and incurable patients, etc.), diverting funds and so on.

End the myth of "Mother Theresa", it's just spin.

My suggestions:

Albert Einstein
Arundhati Roy
Ken Saro Wiwa
Nestor Machno
Chavez
Jutta Ditfurth
Robert Anton Wilson
Mordechai Vanunu
Timothy Leary
Zack de la Rocha
Digna Ochoa

...actually few of them are leaders, but that's for a reason.

Power changes people, and power uses people rather than vice versa.

 

McCain is a tool. So is Ralph "split the vote" Nader, at least as far as his trying to be president (our votes dont count anyway, & dont let people try to fool you into thinking otherwise - its a proven fact. Anyone can ask me & I will direct them towards plenty of evidence to support this claim.)
Hard to go wrong with Gandhi though.

"You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees.
An evil system never deserves such allegiance.
Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil.
A good person will resist an evil system with his or her whole soul" ~ Gandhi
