You too? I thought that was just me...

Ack. Point taken. There are two sides to every coin. Each leader is seen as
'good' be the people he saved, and 'bad' by the people he killed. In a mud,
we do have the advantage of being able to see both sides (and what a jolly
good laugh some of it is). Hitler was a quiet, vegetarian teetotaller, and
Churchill was an overweight drunkard. But everyone loved them in their day.
It must be simple charisma that drives people to blindly follow their
leaders to wiping out other civilisations.
Damn, guess I'll have to settle for Slightly Unpopular Out-Of-Place
Demi-God, then.
