Strangely, i would mount a case for the most influential death being that of Jesus Christ.
Has there been a 'termination' to a life that has had more of an impact?
[it is indeed sad, that the positive teachings of one man can at once instigate so much hope, and be corrupted into so much 'hatred' by those claiming to be his followers]
[is it not claimed, that in both the world wars refered to, he was on "our" side?]
Everybody's god is on their side in a war, and if no god is present , a sense of "rightness" takes its place.
