My Vote on Intellectuals

The Current Discussion: The American magazine Foreign Policy and British magazine Prospect have published a joint list of the world's Top 100 Public Intellectuals. The list includes several PostGlobal panelists. Who's missing from the list? Who would you take off?

Five influential public intellectuals I have voted for: Anne Applebaum, Christopher Hitchens, Robert Kagan, Bernard Lewis and Bjørn Lomborg.

Five people I would add to the list: John Bolton, William Kristol, Simon Leys, Joshua Muravchik and Norman Podhoretz.

Five people I would take off the list: Daniel Barenboim, Pope Benedict XVI, Al Gore, Lee Kuan Yew and David Petraeus.

Please e-mail PostGlobal if you'd like to receive an email notification when PostGlobal sends out a new question.
