Churchill's speech impediment

Several original quotes at my site www.stutterers.org - very convincing that Churchill stuttered. I've added that link to the Churchill section.

Winston_Churchill#Funeral

« The funeral also saw the largest assemblage of statesmen in the world until the 2005 funeral of Pope John Paul II.[172] »

Trouble : the Tito (yougoslavian leader)'s article say exactly the same thing, for 1980 :

« His funeral drew many world statesmen.[19] Based on the number of attending politicians and state delegations, it was the largest statesman funeral in history.[20] » from Tito#Final_years.

No criticism section?

Why is it that almost every major politician, from George Bush to Clinton, seems to have a criticism section, but not Churchhill? Aside from the Indian Independence controversy, this article seems to paint him as a saint. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtd00123 (talk • contribs) 20:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
