	Hussein and Nasser are misspelt.

	Several things. You spelt Hussein wrong, the surnames of Mao Zedong and Ho Chi Minh are Mao and Ho (not Zedong and Minh), its questionable to say Lenin was responsible for the overthrow of the Tsar - the Tsar was overthrown in the February revolution, whilst Lenin and the Bolsheviks seized power in the Octboer Revolution later in 1917. Also, the Dalai Lama is the title of the leader of Buddhism (much like the Pope is the title of the leader of Catholocism) so to ask for the 'present buddhist leader' is a bit of a tautological question.

	In addition to the above, it's Lutuli, often spelled Luthuli, not Lithuli. Accept some alternatives for Mao, e.g. Chairman Mao, Mao Tse-Tung, etc.

	Actually the Dalai Lama is the leader of a particular branch of Tibetan Buddhism; there are many "present Buddhist leaders". Luthuli seems a bit out of place in terms of prominence compared to all the others, and his clue is vague (Mandela was also ANC president, as were others). Other clues are vague as well (I'm sure there are lots of selfless Albanian nuns and Vietnamese communists) although those were easier to guess which one you meant.

	Some of these clues are not specific enough to refer to only one person.

	Nasser is also spelled wrong. Also the Dalai Lama is the leader of Lamaistic Tibetan Buddhism, not Buddhism as a whole - Buddhists in Thailand or Japan don't have any particular relationship to the Dalai Lama.

	Another mistake: Hitler's name was Adolf, not Adolph

	Need to fix the Buddhist question. Dalai Lama is the leader of Tibetan Buddhism. But there are many different branches of Buddhism each with a different(or non) figure head. Daisaku Ikeda for example is the current president of SGI, a Buddhist organization that practices Nichiren Buddhism. He would be just as correct a answer as Dalai Lama with the current wording of the question.
