Two men involved with nation-building.

Alexander the Great (July 20, 356 BC – June 11, 323 BC), also known as Alexander III of Macedon was an ancient Greek king of Macedon (336–323 BC).

Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826) was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and one of the most influential Founding Fathers for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States.

Does it surprise anyone that so far this "greatest human" poll unanimously favors Alexander the Great? We should pit him against Catherine the Great in the interest of fairness Wink
