BTW, how many people do you have to kill and how much power do you have to steal to be called “Great”??
How much money has to be wasted by Democrats for it to be called a “Great Depression”?? We’ll have to wait until 2016, before we have the 2nd one!!
If his name was Alexander the Adequate, they probably would not have named Alexandria after him. Just as Suleiman the Magnigicent was probably not all that magnificent, I imagine Alexander was not all that Great. He probably had to persuade a lot of dangerous people to kill a bunch of other dangerous people all the time, to get a last name like that.
Alexander was actually pretty much a badass and took over Egypt and Persia and pressed onward even to India. He did not rule for long but carved out quite an empire for himself.
