Former U.S President George W Bush is a bigger historical villain than Joseph Stalin or Genghis Khan.
Thats according to a new poll anyway.
Bush Jr, who was the head honcho of the United States between 2001 and 2009, is considered a nicer bloke than Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden though, so hes got that going for him.
The new global study called on the opinions of almost 7,000 students from 37 countries including Argentina, Pakistan, South Korea, Italy, and the U.S.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
What purpose is there for this poster to include two pictures of George W. Bush with President Bill Clinton other than to subliminally attack Hillary Clinton? Why should we allow an OP to attack a Democratic president on DU?
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Sep 24, 2015, 12:50 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: :eyeroll:
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: And he included a picture of barbara bush to deliberately scare peoples pets, too! Sorry 'lerter, no sale.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Unfortunately, the Bushes and Clintons have been known to fraternize. People are often judged by the company they keep.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh Sweet Lord! Cults of personality are so sickening in adults. Put down the mouse....step away from the computer....take a deep breath....put the OP on Ignore if you can't handle it......then go gaze lovingly at a photo of Da Big Dawg until his presence is felt in your heart and your mind calms. There....better?
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(2,672 posts)Fuck that. Edison was a fake. Ichingcarpenter has it right, Tesla is more of a hero.
History books are so skewed in schools that not enough people know about Tesla.

(12,530 posts)Bukhara was not heavily fortified, with a moat and a single wall, and the citadel typical of Khwarezmi cities. The Bukharan garrison was made up of Turkish soldiers and led by Turkish generals, who attempted to break out on the third day of the siege. The break-out force, of perhaps 20,000 men, was annihilated in open battle. The city leaders opened the gates to the Mongols, though a unit of Turkish defenders held the city's citadel for another twelve days. Survivors from the citadel were executed, artisans and craftsmen were sent back to Mongolia, young men who had not fought were drafted into the Mongolian army and the rest of the population was sent into slavery. As the Mongol soldiers looted the city, a fire broke out, razing most of the city to the ground.[15] Genghis Khan had the people assemble in the main mosque of the town, where he declared that he was the flail of God, sent to punish them for their sins before ordering their execution.

Sorry it didn't work out for you to murder entire cities.
