I have found it interesting and will continue to read the replacement thread.

I'm a great fan of Schadenfreude.

With Charles Taylor it was almost impossible to find anyone that would not have made his country safer. The bar was very low, but Ellen Johnson Sirleaf did not keep it low. She did much for her country.

Whoa there! Bhutto was a mixed bag. Flawed - her husbad was notoriously corrupt - but helped restore democracy to country which had most recently lost it when Zia ul Haq executed her father.
Suu Kyi is most certainly not a good woman any more after her complicity in the pogroms against the Rohigyas.
Dilma Roussef, not sure what you got against her. She was removed from office in what can only be described as a coup d'etat on extremely flimsy grounds. Put it another way, if Republicans held a 2/3 majority in the Senate and a majority in the House would they have impeached Obama over the tan suit? They most certainly would have.
