Bring 'em back alive..

Ninthlife

Which famous person who you think died too soon would you like to bring back alive to see what impact they would have on today?

JFK? How the world we live in now be different had he not died at such an early age? Would the war in Vietnam have had a different outcome

I still don't get all the drooling slobbering over JFK. Hilarious how Irish catholics loved him despite his adultering and the family being up to their neck in organized crime.
I think his brother had more potential.

It's his "Irishness" and the fact that he died. Crap president in reality who could easily have caused nuclear war.

That fella they keep mentioning in Godwin's law....just to see how he would explain his thinking over 70 years later

Damn those politicians marching into Leinster House and destroying the country. if only there was a way that d'people could decide who to elect and hold accountable.

Not so much about bringing him back to life, but I wonder how the Congo, and indeed Africa, might have developed differently, if Patrice Lumumba had remained in power, rather than being deposed and executed by Mobutu.

Oh hang on, no, it didn't work out too good the first time round.

Eamon De Valera and or John Charles McQuaid so they could see we have rejected their vision of Ireland, and it being far better for it.

It's arguable he stopped one. Nixon, Reagan, LBJ, bush sr or jr in the white house at the time wouldn't have given two thoughts to blowing Cuba out of the sky in the same situation.

All 5 parts?

KungPao

Kurt Cobain.

I reckon if he got his head together, ditched the wife (and the band I suppose) he could have been a great folksy musician but still rocked it when he wanted. Bloke was 27, had so much more to give. His voice was something else.

This is really revisionist nonsense. He was the sane voice against a cabinet pushing for war.

Was more than likely bipolar, so I'm not sure if he would have been capable of 'getting his head together', concerning his wife, **** sticks to **** I'm afraid. Tragic case really.

His contemporaries (who also fought to free the country) lived on to shape a deeply conservative country dominated by the RCC in almost every way, why would he have acted any differently?
