Just 3 !!

Che Guevara - discuss his motivations, convictions and Guerrilla tacticts. Also to learn about his views on the Soviet Union.

Fidel Castro - just to hear about some of the plots on his life would be entertainment enough. But to also discuss the practicalities o revolution and transforming a society.

Descartes - Meditations to find out if he really believed it. Or even if he felt forced to use God as justification,

"If there ever was in the history of humanity an enemy who was truly universal, an enemy whose acts and moves trouble the entire world, threaten the entire world, attack the entire world in any way or another, that real and really universal enemy is precisely Yankee imperialism"

"North Americans don't understand... that our country is not just Cuba; our country is also humanity"

Oookay, I'll take a shot.

I'd want all these people to be aware of history up to this point in time.

Adolf Hitler - Gotta hear what was really going on in this guy's head and what he really thought of the lives he destroyed. How he thought his thousand year regime would make it uncorrupted by time and man? How did it feel to be crushed after being on such a high? Did he really believe all the rhetoric in his speaches? And what made him start to think the way he did? Was he sorry? Was he angry at how he was exposed as an insane despot and not a Wagnerian hero ?

Jesus Christ - Boy, do I have alot of questions. Like was he really the son of God? Did he really raise from the dead? Did he realize he was on a collision course with Rome and the Sanhedrin? Where was he duing those years we have no record of? Did he ever marry or have children? If he did not die, where'd he go? and why'd he let the legend persist ? If he really is the Son of God, then why are things being allowed to spin out of control ? and what is he going to do about it? (This could go on and on)

George Washington- Was this just an experiment in democracy? Did they realize the nation might actually last more than 150 years? How did he go about making some of the decisions he made? Did he use the Roman citizen soldier as an example or was he internally motivatied to serve and return home? How much did he rely on others for his decisions and how much was really his own decision making? What does he think of the nation today and what are we doing arong? Where did we go wrong? What did he think our greatest missed opportunities were? Why didn't he push the resolution os slavery when he had the chance and did he know it would lead to a civil war?

Then it would be fun to watch Washington and Hitler go at it over how to create a great nation vs. Jesus' trying to create a great nation in heaven?

Fun fun fun...we'd probably never get through with the first course before the china started flying !!

Then I'd like to dance with Washington (he was a great dancer) and teach Hitler to Salsa !!

Budha, I would love to talk about life and death with him and general philosophy

Mary Magdalene; I would love to find out if there was anything betwen her and jesus, also how it was to be a women back then, and how jesus really was

Qiu Jin; she reminds me of myself, so not fitting to social norms, would talk about politics, womens rights. (and I have a thing for asian women :P )

It was hard picking but I think this was it

Jesus - to get the answers

Tennessee Williams - to thank

Marilyn Monroe - for fun

Julius Caesar--Just to hear his thoughts on the world in his day. Also to find out more about the great general.

Hannibal--War strategy. I need to hear his thoughts on different strategies and why he did some of the things he did.

Valerian--Just because I want to make fun of him to his face.
The theme of course would be to discuss Roman culture at different time periods, and in Hannibals case to see how foreigners viewed Rome.

Jesus
Muhammed
Moses

I'd just watch them having a fight. LOL
