If you could go back in time and assasinate someone who would it be?

It has to be someone important, someone whose death will change things.

It can be anyone, Jesus, Abraham, Mitochondrial "Eve", Hitler, GWB...., anyone. They can even be alive today.
 
This is one of the few times "your mom" has been an appropriate, non-sarcastic answer to a question.

Edit: Unless my memory is incorrect. You're DVK916/StatsmanD, right?

I probably wouldn't have assassinated Jesus, but both John the Baptist and St. Paul are in the running. Without Paul, Christianity probably wouldn't be as fucked up as it is.
 
I think "how" they get assassinated is a more interesting option than who gets assassinated.

I would send a hobo with a shotgun back like 500 years to assassinate the pope.

I think it would be cool to read about the The demon beast with the devil's boomstick and how he slayed the pope with thundershot.
 
I dont believe in the butterfly effect. I suspect that if you killed hitler or jesus or any other historic figure, then history would march along just the same but with another name instead. Peoples choices and paths are more driven by their experiences and environment than we like to believe.

That said If you could go back in time, could you change the course of history even with a campaign of event, assasinations, elections, etc. (of course this ignores the intension paradox)
 
If you killed Hitler how would Keynesians be able to wet themselves at WWII bringing us out of the great depression?
