The Art of War

Currently re-reading this classic, thinking of the opening. I'm sure all that have read about the laughing concubines who instantly "reformed" there silly ways after a simple be-heading can hardly forget the lesson behind the introduction: The secret behind a great military and (in our day and age) political system is a great leader.


Therefore; while China had Sun Tzu and Confucious'. Where are the great leaders and philosphers today? Surely there must be men (and women) wiser than Canada's Stephen Harper, and America's George Bush.

Or is it simply possible that all leaders seem greater when viewed through the lengthy looking glass known as time?
