I'd definitely go for Henry Fonda in Fail-Safe. IIRC, he ordered a nuclear strike on NYC -- while his wife was visiting there -- to prevent a further escalation of nuclear war.
I'm going for either Michael Douglas, American President, or Bill Pullman in Independence Day. ;)

Favorite Quotes "Well, let's see. There's --of course --in the great history of America rulings there have been rulings, there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American. And there are -- those issues, again, like Roe v Wade where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So you know -- going through the history of America, there would be others but, well, I could think of -- of any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe I would take issue with. But you know, as mayor, and then as governor and even as a Vice President, if I'm so privileged to serve, wouldn't be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today." - Sarah Palin

I'm just a Joe Six Pack hockey mom from a small town and a maverick also and did I tell you my son is serving in Afghanistan, our neighboring country also?
