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

The guy that invented religion.
The guy that first fucked a monkey and contracted AIDS.

There maybe more, but I'll take care of those guys first.

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.

John was okay, but I agree with you on Paul. He'd be in my top 5.

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.

you'd have to go farther back than 500 years, there were guns at that time.

I like the cut of your jib. WW1 wasn't the good vs evil battle WWII became; it was just the largest of many European wars. Would be interesting if the German Empire survived it.

I'd knock of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Hopefully he'd be replaced by someone who agreed with Bismarck's more pragmatic and effective foreign policy, which in turn might spare Europe from the horrors of World War 1.

Here's a controversial suggestion: Gandhi. I know all the hippies love to swoon over him because of the whole non-violence thing, but his retarded socialist economic ideas held back India for decades after his death and are responsible for untold amounts of suffering and misery. I know it's probably overly simplistic to blame him for India's economic screw-ups, but I can only imagine what they would have achieved if they'd adopted a more free market system upon independence.

Edit: After a bit more reading I guess that Jawaharlal Nehru probably deserves a much greater share of the blame for the post-independence economic mess in India. I'd assassinate him instead.

Judging by how movies have been lately, assassinating directors would have been futile as it still wouldn't stop movie execs from rebooting franchises with turds.
