I don't know. I don't see anyone else doing what Churchill did at the time.
A lot of great leaders i would argue are unreplaceable.
Not to play down scientsits... but the level on which scientists that make discoveries play off of existing research and common threads of knowledge other sceintists are going by is greatly downplayed.
Although i wouldn't say Churchill was a great statesman so much as he was a unique statesman that existed at the right time.
Another example is George Washington.
A great number of revolutions never work out for their people because the leader of their revolutions weren't like George Washington.
He had the power to enshrine himself as an asbsolute ruler... but didn't. Now, give command to any of those other revolutionary officers... and I imagine we'd be celibrating a quite different history after the US won.
