I think that´s the idea. For humanity it would be a win/win situation anyway.

"SQUIRTLE I CHOOSE YOU"

Bush laughs and says"You idiot, i'd knew you pick him, PIKACHU I CHOOSE YOU, water types are vunerable to electric types"

Think about it though, how would the world be if every conflict in the past century had been settled by a duel between leaders?

Churchill vs Hitler vs Stalin
Nixon vs Kennedy
Kennedy vs Khruschev

How amusing would they all be?

Since most of those leaders had formal military infantry training, not very. Churchill is very fucked, his accracy when he tired out a submachine gun along with several top US Army Generals was just awful.

No clue.
Nixon vs Kennedy
Kennedy's younger, he wins.
Kennedy vs Khruschev
Most unfair. Duel at 8000km, Kennedy uses the might of the SAC to crush Kruschev.

Given a week's notice Khruschev might get one of his four ICBM's working.

Maybe. Though the RVs on the things were rather primitive. I wonder how Nike Hercules would fair against it?

Give both of them a frag grenade with a 20m kill radius.

Arena is an enclosed 10x10x2m room....

Apparantly Saddam Hussein proposed that the leaderships of irak and the us meet on neutral ground with equal weapons and fight their differences out face to face. He said this is to spare both nations the hardships of an war.
The white house declined and said this is not worthy of discussion.

I´m total serious about this, i have read several press clippings on it and they don´t seem to be joking, but it really looks odd to me Thats why i´m asking for more sources.
Finally some honorable combat. It almost makes saddam a superiour leader. It would make him a superiour leader, but hes far more capitalist and fascist than dubya.

But you have to remember MAD. if Khruschev uses an ICBM, Kennedy's supporters will strike back.
