I'll preface it by saying Vaclev Havel, in recent times, strikes me as one of the best to actually hold office.
From my country, I'd choose Chomsky.
He knows politics and issues better than anyone I can think of, and he is, from my POV, the person who appraches them most objectively.
Feel free to heckle, but I DO expect you to offer an alternative. |

Thomas Friedman or the editoral board of the New Republic.
I don't agree with them on everything but I do trust their judgement. |

| I would say Mario Cuomo, but he's too old. He has the necessary executive experience and his views are reasonably close to mine. Next in line would be Colin Powell. He has the executive experience and the integrity I think are essential. |

No.
John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, or John McCain, or even Howard Dean in a worst case scenario.
But Noam 'I hate everything powerful except myself and the Khmer Rouge' Chomsky? Please. I'd resurrect Eugene Debbs before I'd select him. |

| I'd choose Bush, again. I know that makes people mad, but I love the guy. A woman Clinton as president, now that scares the hell out of me. |

John McCain's good.
I like Chomsky on the Middle East, and I like Friedman for the approach to quote-unquote developing nations.
I'd actually prefer a committee. That always seems to work. *cough* |

Yeah, I am. I think head of state is too important a position to turn over to an amateur. It's enough of a crap shoot the way it is. |

| I would have to choose Christiane Amanpour or Peter Jennings. Journalists just seem so knowledgable and would probably more fully understand what effects their actions would have......ideally at least. Especially Christiane Amanpour. I don't know what her beliefs are but I really can't imagine a country being poorly by that woman. David Suzuki would be good, too. |
