If you could prevent the assassination of any past leader?

[blind_fury]

who would it be?

 

[comicgirl]

who would it be?

toss up between Malcolm X and MLK. Just because it would've been great to allow these men to continue to evolve.

 

[War Lord]

who would it be?

I'll be there for you man.

I pledge to give my life to save you.

Just don't call me, k?

 

[blind_fury]

Before you answer think about how it would effect human history.

None. Their deaths were neccessary to to their cause, even if no one realises it.

[Arkady Rossovich]

President Lincoln,for he is often considered one of America`s greatest presidents.

 

[Immortalfire]

None. Who knows what the effects would be. Even if your intentions are good, the Back To The Future films remind us that tampering with the past is dangerous.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Robert Kennedy. He would have been our greatest President.

This is how paradoxes are created. If you go back to save them, then they are alive and there's no reason to go back and save them, therefore they die.

 

[enterthemadness]

No one. Think of the ripple effects, man!

 

[The Chairman]

I voted Lincoln, JFK and Lennon. And I should've voted for MLK as well.

 

[Spider-Bite]

nobody because I would support the temperal prime directive.

 

[Lantern Venom]

I wouldn't want to mess with history but I'd probably go with Malcolm X because he had just begun to shape his identity apart from the Nation of Islam.

Also, I have to ask why John Lennon is on this list. He may have been a great guy but he was just a musician. I know that will offend some people but he's out of place among the people on this list.

 

[Dorian Gray]

John Lennon?

I wouldn't save any of those leader because their matyrdom made thier deeds and teaching special and inspirational to furture generations....if they survived then they would have slowly faded away...

This is all just my opinion though.

 

[Immortalfire]

Lennon, why? A musician among King, Lincoln and others?

Malcom X couldn't have been well known unless he was killed, I believe MLK is a must for society to sruvive. There was this amazing episode from the boondocks with a what if of the survival of MLK. Watch this my friends...

Seen the episode.

Malcom X was an fairly well known and figure in mainstream society for his time. So was Stokley Carmichael (who drifted into obscurity). Both were somewhat accelerated in popularity due to controversy. He was incredibly popular throughout the black community, and they did not put him at odds with MLK, as the mainstream media did.
