44. Thank you...
though I have several problems with that article, namely:

1. Regime change in Iraq was a worthy goal; however, using military means to acheive it was stupid and inhumane.

2. Eastern Europe needed to be "Americanized" quite a bit in the free speech arena; he seems to have been promoting dissent, not a bad thing.

3. Milosevic's ethnic cleansing of the Kosovars was simply inexcusable. I doubt that military force helped the situation, however.

Not everything done by rich people is bad, nor is everything done by them meant to benefit themselves. Power corrupts, but it does not always corrupt. Soros seems to be a holdout.
