Oliver Cromwell was a great general and a bible-believing Christian who hated the sloth and corruption of some of the Anglican/Catholic hierarchy. Nevertheless, he would make a great Hezbollah leader had he lived today.
Religion aside, we forget just how great Cromwell was as a military leader. Not only was he a great general but he established the royal navy, ended the Dutch commercial supremacy, and frightened all the crowned heads of Europe. His Roundheads were as formidible as the Spanish Infantry had been. Now he had the means to project power whereever he chose. Then, all of a sudden he was gone and France especially breathed a sign of relief.
