Actually, I wouldn't eliminate anyone. There is no one that is 100% bad or 100% good.

No one likes Adolph Hitler (Shickelgruber) but even though he was history's biggest evildoer, not ALL of his reign was bad...

Under Hitler, the Autobahn was created, jet aircraft were mass produced for the first time, technology (albeit war tech) accelerated rapidly, the atom was split for the first time. These were good things. But also it cost the lives of some 11 million prisoners, including about six million Jews. Millions more died needlessly from the fighting.

The telephone was mentioned. Good or bad? Yes, it's annoying. But it has saved countless lives, brought people across the world closer together. Also interrupted untold dinners and showers and relaxing baths. But it is not ALL bad.

President Bush isn't all bad either. Perhaps not the best, but I think he's the right man in the right pace at the right time. President Gore wouldn't have done a damn thing but bluster the talk and we would be living with regular attacks now.

OK, Pol Pot hasn't made a positive contribution that I know of, but I don't know everything either.

The point is: no one in history (or now) is ALL bad and deserving of being erased from history.
