Yassar Arafat is not a wonderful statesman but somehow I don't think he's quite hit the same league as Hitler, Pol Pot and Stalin.

This is like one of the silly IQ test questions: Which item doesn't below with the rest.

Stalin is someone, I must say, if removed at the right time would have been most likely replaced by someone wholely more moderate, I think anyone that has studied the russian revolution would agree with me on that.

Storming of the Bastille would have been cool, watching darwin work out evolution, wander though a real medieval castle in it's prime, debating between greek philosophers, the politics of the roman forums.....
