They would still be alive today, which none of them are (unless you 
call what Mandela does "living.")

The Buddha had it right. He who dodges the draft and runs away lives 
to dodge the draft another day.

As for Stalin, I always wished I had been born fifty years earlier so 
I could walk up to Stalin and burn his moustache off with a cigarette 
lighter. You know, one of those things that burns like a flame 
thrower. While everyone was laughing at him I would seize control of 
the government and require that the Ukrainian language replace 
Russian in all the public schools. As for Lysenko, I would have had 
him put in Lubyanka prison and then I would have promoted the 
agricultural theories of a fertilizer salesman I used to know. With 
those reforms and a series of idiots running the US, Russia would 
have won the cold war and I would be dictator of the world, heh, heh.

Since it did not happen that way the world is all screwed up.
