Oh, I don't know. What about Vo Nguyen Giap who managed to defeat my generation of the USA? Or whatever unknown genius who is really running the present insurgency in Iraq? I would love to have dinner with whoever, because I don't really think we have a clue.Socrates before he drank Hemlock. Caesar while he was writing "The Conquest of Gaul". Crazy Horse when he was riding rings around the Indian fiting army cavalry. Nathan Bedford Forrest when he was out fighting West Points best with a third grade formal education. George Patton when he was overwhelming the Western Front Nazi Armies. Mcauflie when he was sayin "Nuts" to the same demanding his surrender at Bastagone. What do you think of those choices?

My great maternal grandmother who came to this country from Northern Ireland at the age of 26 with 3 kids and the 4th in the oven and eventually had 8 children. I am facinated by our immigrating families, how brave they were,who had so little, and what they endured to survive.

Oh, the variety of answers to this question.
Some are historical and others are quite personal.
Í, myself, would love to go back in time and have dinner with my ex-wife before I left for overseas in 1977. I'd hand her divorce papers and not have to worry about her spending my money and meeting me at the airport a year later with papers herself.
But that's just me....

Jesus, since most of western civilization hinges on his life and teachings. That would also mean that I'd like lunch w/ Moses and brunch w/ Mohamed as well.
For a more modern flavor, I'd do drinks with Winston Churchill.

Davy Crockett. He was a fascinating man - intelligent, humorous, political, and a hero who had the opportunity to abandon his post at the Alamo but chose to stay - knowing that the only results would be his death. All my childhood heroes died at the Alamo.

Vlad Tepes.
It would be undoubtedly cool to have dinner in the midst of a forest of impaled bodies.

Does it have to be back in time? I would eat with Carol Burnett and Tom Hanks, what a great dinner conversation that would be!
