With the exception of Castro and Chavez, all the political leaders I admire were assassinated or their lives were cut short in other ways. I have heard all sorts of "revolutionary" figures on Democracy Now (Kabilla, eg.) speak in wonderful ways, making one believe that they are going to make their country a wonderful place. Few work out nearly as well.
