No. No matter how good the person, there would always be a chance that such absolute power would corrupt them, and without any checks, they could be dangerous. Also, if they had absolute power, what would happen if something happened to them? With all power tied up in one person, it would be easy for someone else to "get rid of" them, and grab power themselves. That person might not be as good a leader or as good a person. Finally, it's too big a job for one person. The cultures of the world are so diverse that no one person would be capable of knowing what is best for each group.

That would be absolutely ludicrous. Thomas Jefferson and his friends did a lot of research into what type of government works the best in order to suit the needs of the citizens. The only type that works is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It's called self government. Unfortunately, as is evidenced right here in Answers, most people are either too stupid or lazy to understand that it requires a little self reliance, education, and participation in order to work the best. When are people going to understand that the best person to run your life is you, not Oprah, Ghandi, or anyone else. At least a few still get this like, dare I say, the Republicans.
'nuff said?

No one would be able to rule then entire world, it is too vast. There is nobody that could be popular with that many different religions and philosophy's. The closest thing to a world leader is the pope his word is spread world wide to all of the Catholics.
