Probably already been done but just wanted to know who you would love to sit down with and enjoy a meal and drinks with!
my 3 would be

1. The duke of Wellington, would ask him how he prepared for Napoleon and how he compared to being the prime minister to a leader in war.
2. Metacom, I would ask him if he could of fought his war differently and if he blamed his father for what happened to his people
3. Churchill, obiously ask him if he always believed that we could fight off the Nazi's and if he ever lost faith?

1. Charles Darwin. How could this not be an interesting discussion with the changes since his theory was first penned?
2. George Washington. It's obvious, I know, but I'd like to see what he thinks of the last 2 centuries of America.
3. Ronald Reagan. He was a huge figure in so many ways, I'd love to ask him why he made some of the choices he did.
(I'd want to talk to Churchill too :)

washington would be a good choice and plus you would not have to get him drunk to get the truth out since the man can not lie, fact!

Einstein, Richard Feynman, Carl Sagan.
 
Anita Ekberg, Sophia Loren, and Elke Sommer.

We'd discuss quantum physics.

I'd ask all of them what they thought about recent science, and if they had any hints for the rest of us.
 
President Bush, the father, President Bush, the son, and Karl Rove, all injected with truth serum...

LOL... That would be good.

I think I'd like to talk to Obama, since he is the current president and the most powerful person in the country right now. That should be obvious. As for the other two... I don't know yet.

Don't bother with George the Younger. I doubt he ever actually knew ****. Replace him with Dick Cheney.
 
Jefferson, Franklin and Victoria Woodhull.
 
Serious version: General George C. Marshall, Former South Korean President Kim Dae Jung, Former Polish President Lech Kaczynski.

I know that Kim-Dae-Jung is a great person, but why him? For his work to have peace at the Korean peninsula?

Gwangetto the Great, Sejong the Great, and Yi-Soon-Sin, all great leaders in Korean history

I have a strong affection for human rights and liberal democratic activists, so that pretty much limits it to the 20th century.
 
Mary Magdalene, Jesus, Eve
 
Jefferson rather than Washington. Jefferson was the most questioning of the founders. Kennedy had it right with the "except when Jefferson dined alone" quote
Edison. Would be interested in his input r.e. the inventions over the past century. Perhaps the greatest mind of the 19th century.
Da Vinci. Possibly the most multi-talented man in history.
 
My choices are a mix of men and women:

1) Akhenaten from ancient Egypt.
2) Martin Luther King.
3) Joan of Arc.
 
1. James Madison: get his ideas on how to restore balance between the states and federal government, and how to restore balance between the three branches at the federal level.
2 and 3: I just want to watch Henry Morgantheau debate Irving Kristol.
