Is she this high on here because you just couldn't think of any other worthy women to put on the list?? Being a woman myself, I am embarrassed to think that these are the best women you could have picked as influential. I would take Marilyn Monroe before Eleanor Roosevelt- at least she had the influence to satisfy a president. Don't think Eleanor ever did that ;)

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."

Comments:
Churchill disclosed the "Percentages Agreement" with Stalin, which he called the "naughty document", in his memoirs. Had Roosevelt secretly signed off on the agreement before Churchill presented it to Stalin? There's no hard evidence that Roosevelt had foreknowledge of it, but it stands to reason that he was informed "after the fact". Roosevelt was most certainly guilty of complicity in Churchill's treachery, before and/or after the fact. After all, Roosevelt never repudiated the agreement. I agree that both men were equally responsible for the "iron curtain" that fell over Eastern Europe and the Balkans after the war, and for the resultant "Cold War".
it wasn't Winston who 'gave' eastern europe to the soviets, to quote Roosevelt; "I just have a hunch that Stalin is not that kind of a man. ... and I think that if I give him everything I possibly can and ask for nothing from him in return, noblesse oblige, he won't try to annex anything and will work with me for a world of democracy and peace."
do a little research before you spout rubbish about him please.
Remember Dresden? Churchill ordered the unnecessary firebombing of more than a thousand German cities and towns, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent German civilians, and injuring hundreds of thousands more. Meeting with Stalin in Moscow in October, 1944, he essentially gave the Soviet Union Eastern Europe and the Balkans. He was the "father" of the Cold War. He's the one who should have been tried in Nuremberg for mass murder and war crimes.
Winston not only kept his peoples morale high during the darkest time in their history,he inspired G.Britains ally to greater efforts.And amazingly did it by telling the TRUTH! Top 10 on any list.
most unique, amazing and patriotic man ever to rule a country.
god bless his soul.

Perhaps the greatest humanity had ever seen. A well rounded personality and a perfect blend of wisdom and compassion. Buddhist philosophy is an education of how one must live life with simplicity, rationality and compassion.
he was only prince to avoid oldage god of longliveness should be placed higher in rank.
Should be within the first three. He is the Philosopher, Guide and Spritual leader treated as incarnation of God and worshipped in Asia in Countries like Japan, China, Myanmar, Tibet, Srilanka, India, Nepal etc.
The Buddha was the greatest human being ever lived in this world. He not only demonstrated the greatest potential humans can achieve but also showed the path leading to that in a very scientific way. Accounting what is going on to the cause and effect principle rather than outside super power the Buddha emphasized the power of human mind. If developed and concentrated for the good of the world there is no limit to what humans can achieve in this very life. Gautam the Buddha is definitely within the first 10 great humans of this world. by Wickrama Keerthipala
Should be ahead of Dalai Lama, not behind him... Dalia practices Buddhism, Buddha founded it.

Nicolas Steno (11 January 1638 – 25 November 1686) was a Danish pioneer in both anatomy and geology. In 1659, he decided not to accept anything simply written in a book, instead resolving to do research himself. The consequences of this self-study is that he is considered the father of geology and stratigraphy. He was responsible for the the recognition of geological strata, and the theory that successive layers of geological formations (strata) contained a fossil record of life in chronological order. He eventually became a tutor to the de Medici family and, ultimately, became a Bishop and a strong leader in the Catholic Counter-Reformation. He is largely unknown, despite his many great achievements, which may have been due to his religious zeal in a time that was moving away from reasoned science and towards observational science.
