Which World Leader Deserves To Be Called "Leader of the Free World"

Posted on 11/04/2014 9:30:31 AM PST by ComtedeMaistre

The title of leader of the free world has traditionally been held by an American President. But since America does not have a suitable candidate for such a title at the moment, which world leaders qualify to be leaders of the free world?

These are possible candidates - Stephen Harper (Canada), Angela Merkel (Germany), Benjamin Netanyahu (Israel), Vladimir Putin (Russia), and David Cameron (Britain).

Non-Western leaders can include

1. The new right-wing Hindu Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, who passionately opposes Islamic extremism. His party, the BJP, is very pro-Israel. As Chief Minister of Gujarat State, he implemented small government policies, which led to high rates of economic growth in Gujarat. Pro-Muslim forces in America had him banned from visiting America when he was Chief Minister of Gujarat, because of his opposition to radical Islam.

2. Egyptian President Abdel Fatah el-Sisi, who kicked the Muslim brotherhood terrorist leader, Morsi, out of office. He also banned the Muslim Brotherhood, over the protests of the US government. El-Sisi is a tougher opponent of radical Islam than Mubarak.

3. The Christian President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, who was willing to endure foreign aid cuts to his country, because he opposed US attempts to impose gay rights in his country. Museveni is not only pro-Israel, but he is a personal friend of Bibi Netanyahu, whom he visits frequently. Museveni's army is fighting Muslim terrorists in Somalia. Museveni is also buiding a Museum in Entebbe to honor Israeli Commandos who rescued Jewish hostages, who had been held in Uganda by Muslim terrorists in 1976. Netanyahu's oldest brother died in the rescue effort. http://www.jpost.com/International/Uganda-leader-tells-Netanyahu-he-will-set-up-museum-at-Entebbe

Nobody. We’re no longer divided cleanly on into an us and them world. The “leader of the free world” was just the head of us, now we don’t even know who us is, can’t really have a leader.

The world is ALL free now, isn't it? Didn't Communism collapse in the 1990s? Didn't China open its door to the West? (sarc)

Harper is alive and qualifies. I’d consider Bibi and the dude from India. If I have to list three, they would be my only entries, though more by rapid process of elimination than anything else. Putin is definitely a leader, but doesn’t seem to qualify on the free part.

Harper, Merkel, and Netanyahu all rate consideration. Czar Vladimir I does not qualify, but might claim to be Defender of the Faith. Cameron is a heavyweight only in comparison to Obama, but Farage of the UKIP would definitely be in the running if he were prime minister.

Zero might be styled Offender of the Faith, but "beer so light the foam is on the bottom" also comes to mind.

Museveni is apparently the most Godly of the bunch. It’s not even close.
