Winston Churchill was indeed the greatest leader of the 20th century. His foresight, courage and leadership attributes are a testament to this great man. But he was not near flawless. He like any other mere mortal suffered from typical human foibles. His greatness is measured in his ability to assess a situation and act immediately. If it didn't work, he was quick to correct and go on. He tried not to dwell too long on failures.

A waste of time. What he did do or fail to do is what we should look at. All other exercises are but mere vapor escaping into political nonsense. Richard C.

Sometimes it's harmless - "would Chuchill Twitter?" - but more often it seems to follow the logic pattern: Churchill did things which were courageous and right. What I am proposing is courageous and right. Ergo, Churchill would do what I'm proposing. Either nobody is taught logical analysis any more or they don't want to go through the exercise.
