Who is a positive leader? Its for a school project.?

Answer 1

Jesus Christ.
Mother Theresa (I'm not Catholic by the way.)
Ghandi
Joan of Arc
King Henry V
William Wallace
El Cid

If you want someone still living, it gets harder. Real leaders seem to have become all but extinct. I'm thinking..... thinking....

There's a British officer that was on the news this week.... Can't remember his name. But he is doing things in Iraq that are courageous, unique, and peace-building. If you can find an article about that... and get his name... I think he may qualify.
