I CONSIDER ARISTOTLE TO BE ONE OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT MEN EVER TO EXIST. TO BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HIM WOULD BE INCREDIBLE.

At first, I thought maybe Isaac Newton, who is still recognized as a most brilliant mathematician, but he was such a strange, religous fanatic, that dinner conversation might not have been that enjoyable.
I think Teddy Roosevelt might be able to share some wonderful stories of his adventures, during war, exploration, and his terms of presidency. He led an interesting time even after his terms.

Harry Truman. I'd ask why he didn't put the fear of God into the Russians and Chinese when the US was the only true nuclear super power on earth and save fifty years of anguish from then until now. There would be no Middle East problem, no trillion dollar defense budget and the earth would be a far superior place to live than what it is now, for all people.

Thomas Jefferson. I'd like to find out whether everything he did really was by design, or just a fortunate turn of events. The man was brilliant, but I'm not sure he didn't just take advantage of situations. Right time and place sort of thing.

Angelina Jolie (who will be a historical figure, in the future). I don't mind having Maddox along, either.
She's hot, & helps starving kids across the world. What's there not to love?

Presuming that the same magic which enabled me to dine with long dead persons also enabled us to understand each other's speech, I would like to have dinner with Jesus of Nazareth. I would be interested in finding out what he thinks of some things done in his name. I suspect his views regarding religion as business would be fascinating to hear. He also could help me understand some things about what He had in mind regarding peacable interaction. As a bonus, having Him to dinner would save on the cost of wine, right?

I'd have to say Robert E Lee...Probably one of the greatest Generals who ever lived; too bad much of his "time" was spent on the Civil War; I'd want to know what he really thought of the war between the states and what he would've done differently (if anything) to ultimately change the outcome!

Ones not enough. I think a dinner party would be better. I'd choose Winston Churchill, Cervantes, Che Guevara and Hanibal. That would be one hell of a dinner.

Golda Meir she was the first woman to become prime minister or president of a world country and she did lead a very interesting life.

Cleopatra--she threw some fabulous feasts on that barge, and I'll bet she could provide some amazing tips on dealing with people in general, and men in particular.
