Who in modern politics or leadership can you compare to Julius Caesar?

I do not think that you can compare Julius Caesar to anyone in modern politics.  He was a successful general who managed to invade Britain and Gaul.  This involved a great deal of strategic thinking and the ability to manage logistics in order to keep his troops fed and equipped.  Caesar also wrote a history of the conquest of Gaul, which was still being used by academics centuries later.  Caesar survived a severe civil war...

I do not think that you can compare Julius Caesar to anyone in modern politics.  He was a successful general who managed to invade Britain and Gaul.  This involved a great deal of strategic thinking and the ability to manage logistics in order to keep his troops fed and equipped.  Caesar also wrote a history of the conquest of Gaul, which was still being used by academics centuries later.  Caesar survived a severe civil war which placed him at the head of the government.  He was known for his oratorical skill at a time when one could not rely on cameras to make oneself look presentable.  He provided housing for his soldiers and relief for the poor.  When he assumed total power over the Roman government, he became the most powerful man in the West's only superpower.  There is no one that can be easily compared to Julius Caesar because he combined military, scholastic, and political achievement in one person.  I do not see anyone who could potentially measure up to that standard today.
