Alexander was killed by malaria, not an assasin....

Anyway...

I'd have to go with Alexander, as well. Just...because....

I had thought he was poisoned. I'll have to go check it out. Goota love the internet...

EDIT: Checked it out, and yes Alexander was sick, but there are also accounts that he may have been poisoned by his physician or an attendant of his. So I guess we're both right since the only people who really know are dead.

Julius Caesar. Even though Greece was more intellectual and stuff, Rome was so nuts.

Hitler started with good intentions.. but power is never a good thing... I like what came out of Hitler. Like, the Autoban, and Volkswagen. Those helped in the long run.

Which good intentions were those? Wanting to kill any and everyone he didn't happen to like?

I have never heard of any good intentions from Hitler. At least not anything that could be considered good from a sane and humane human being. I'm sure he probably made a few empty promises or something to help bring him into power, but I don't he ever intended to make good on those promises.
