    He brought the USSR to its knees & then Bush made the final blow. It was mostly Reagan.

    it was gorbachev not reagan that ended the cold war.
    He was determined to end the Cold War and to bring economic and political reform to the Soviet Union
    after the economy had deteriorated during 70s and 80s.

    Fall of USSR had nothing to do with US. It was because of domestic problems.

    My personal favorite is Abraham Lincoln, though, keep in mind that I am just picking out of what I know. There's probably someone out there better, but anyway, I'll explain myself. He's a political genius, and urged his generals to use strategies, that, when they finally were put into place and used, won the Civil War. He's also the embodiement of the American Dream. All in all, he was just awesome.
    I think he did help it along. He put pressure on the Soviet Union that was going through tough economic times by building up our Military while we were going through an economic boom, and daring the Soviets to try to keep up. However, to give him most of the credit wouldn't be proper. Presidents get all the credit if something good happens during their adminstration, and all the blame if something bad happens.

    Genghis Khan, transformed mongolia from small tribes to one of the worlds largest empires, and that all happend in 1 life time, not like the brittish empire, the roman empire, the persian empire etc etc

    the're only 3 persons that one could compare with him.

    Alexander the great, destroyed one of the most powerful empires in the world (only took over one fourth of the land Genghis did)
    Hannibal turned carthage from an impowerful state (compared with rome) into a feared nation.
    Napoleon, french dwarf who made the rest of europe shit it self of fear (nuff said).

    I don't disagree with anything you said, but I'm pretty sure that Napoleon was taller than we originally thought he was. I heard somewhere that the conversion of measurements was messed up, and he was actually 5' 6", which was pretty average back then, and isn't that bad today.
