As the legend goes ,The archangel decended from Heaven and spake these words.
"Once the great phoenix and its mighty soldiers fell to the tricks of those from Spray. But then a year after their defeat, the great soldiers of the phoenix arose , much as the phoenix itself arises from the ashes. They joined together with new men brought under the phoenix's power. Together this force confronted its great enemy from the Land of Spray once more. In the first of 5 battles mistakes of the past led to the temperary defeat of the phoenix's army. In the seconed battle the army of the phoenix had the larger numbers and devastaed the ones from Spray. In the third battle the Ones from Spray came fighting back hard, but the Soldiers of the Pheonix were prepared. After numerous difficult challenges the study skills of the Pheonix's army and elequent use of knowledge earned them the battle. In the fourth battle, superior knowledge of the universe and how to use it to their advantage brought victory to the soldiers of the pheonix. In the final battle the two armies fought, and challenged each other for a long time but, in the end it was the pheonix and its soldiers that took the victory and brought revenge on those from Spray.
With These words being said the angel took to the sky, but as it departed a triumphant smile was seen on its face and a glowing pheonix was viewed on its armor.

Last week US News released a special edition talking about todays best leaders, well that got me thinking, who do you think are the best leaders from through out history. I would like to see five people on each of your lists and why you choose them. I based my choices on pure leadership skill not on any agreement to their political views, well not with much.
1) Franklin Delano Roosevelt: FDR is a personal hero of mine and I think he is extremely deserving of the number one place on my list. He guided our nation through the worst time economicly (I can't spell) that we have ever been in, then he persevered to help lead us through WWII. He showed no signs of weakness and always stood even after contracting polio and loseing his abillity to walk with out assitance. Just imagine where we would be with out all he did for our nation, it is very likely I would be typing in german right now. And most amazingly he did all of this with very little scandal (there was that adding extra supreme court judges thing). Oh and he managed to get elected 4 times.
2) Mutsohito Meiji: This man was one of the most important people in the History of Japan. Meji managed to destroy the vicious government of the Shogun and unify all of Japan. He started Japan towards a represetative government and forged it into a mighty world power after winning wars against both Russia and China. His remains are enshrined in the shrine that bares his name in Tokyo. Side note: Meiji means "enlightened rule".
3) Alexander The Great: One of if not the greatest millitary minds in history. In a matter of only about 13 years he conquered not only all of the known world of his time but also explored and conquered beyond that boundry. He was not only extremely savy when it came to commanding his troops in battle but was a great statesman. He knew better than to completely undermine the culture of the areas he conquered but instead made there former leaders his govenors and imbraced an east asian as his bride.
4) Napoleon Bonaparte: Another great millitary man. Napoleon managed to do the nearly impossible. He was able to conquere most of europe within a very short period of time. He also rose up and took control of France as its new emperor after the chaos that was known as the French Revolution. Nap[oleon on numerous ocasions was able to outsmart forces much larger than his own. He on multiple occasions defeated not one enemy but the combined allied forces of Russia, Great Brittain, and Prussia. Unfortunatelt he eventually streched his forces to thin when attempting to fight a 2 front war against both a Brittain and R ussia and was defeated at the battle of Waterloo.
5) Hitler: A strange choice but a deserving one. Hitler was able to use his wicked mind to curve the thought process of an entire society and put the fate of an entire race and religion in Jepardy (did I spell that right?). Using his millitary skill he was able to conquered most of Europe with little trouble. He was also a genius about aquiring alies and was able to control Italy through the use of his puppet Mussolini. He also was able to sway the millitary might of Japan to his cause and together he and the axis powers put the world in Jepardy.
