They do - and he was great... A true leader by all accounts

A man who could get the average man to follow him to the ends of the earth and back again... To fight and never surrender... Never give in, whatever the odds. A true leader, and someone to be respected. He was the only man aside from Royalty to recieve a state funeral in modern times... That says a hell of a lot of the respect the man had from the general population - a true leader - a hero if you will - for the British.

Admitadly his record in peace time wasn't great, but his achievements in preserving democracy in Western Europe shouldn't be down played. A true leader, of the type we simply do not have in the present.
