Why are so many Polish political leaders midgets?

Most of my Polish relatives are 6 feet or over. In other countries tall men are usually elected to political office. For example, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, etc. Why is it then so many Polish political leaders like the Kaczynski brothers, Lech Walesa, etc. are midgets?

size has nothing to do with an ability to govern or be in the service of the state.
imho - this is a daft topic

Atilla the Hun did OK for a short chap.

Nicholas Sarcozy is pretty short. Why would you even start a topic like this? LOL and why would any of us answer?

Maybe you're 12-15 though. I can see that in your other comments. We discuss the anti missile base and you're just concerned with talking smack about Pl women. I don't even see you comment in any other topics either which shows me that you're brain capacity may not be able to handle the volume ;)

I also think you're American. Why would you have to say "Polish" relatives or just name US presidents.........

I'm just giving examples, that's the way you support an argument. If you went to school you would know that. I also am tired of seeing Polish leaders looking up to other world leaders. Maybe if they elected a tall leader he would get more respect.

respect is by actions not posture

Imagine how they feel.


tall leaders haven't proven to be all that good, so what is your argument again?

Don't forget Napoleon.

gandhi was tinyman who made great deeds and got great respect

Alexander the great was 158 cm.

Stalin was short,Lenin was very short.

Check Roman G. :)

This was advantage because he could start hunger strike and survive more days than average height persons.

well there you have it - being short leader has advantages

And Alexander the great could not easily be hit cause he was a small target.

Stalin was regarded as not important due to his height.
So he escaped death.

Roman giertych is a good example. Who do you think would look more commanding in a photoop with another world leader, Giertych or Kaczynski? Giertych of course.

I dunno, maybe in some cases, diminutive men feel pressure to "prove themselves" and overdo it with agressive and controlling behavior.

I've heard people refer to "little man syndrome", but don't know if there's anything to it.
