My friends and I always make fun of local new for trying to find the "The Chicago Connection" in every news story. When the levy broke in New Orleans, hours were spend on local media talking about Chicagoans in NO. When the Tsunami hit Asia a few years ago the same thing.
Lets see the choices Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Saladin AND Robert E Lee??? Pretty good general yes, but not worthy of this list.
