Napoleon Bonaparte? Good or Bad?

Napoleon is a walking controversy. Beethoven dedicated a work to him as a liberator, then tore it up when he became a dictator. Napoleon offered a million franc reward to anyone who could invent a way to preserve food for his armies, and said "an army marches on it's stomach". The man who won did so by inventing canning. Unfortunately, Napoleon was so gung-ho to conquer that he made his armies go faster than their supply chains, and expected them to live off the land. In so doing, he turned his men into locusts with muskets. Seriously, they had no choice but to devour everything they could find, up to and including dirt. His armies were the most feared in Europe because of this. Finally, to all the Richard Dawkins disciples out there, who condemn religion as the source of violence, Monsieur Bonaparte was an atheist who fostered scientific research and tried to end the Spanish Inquisition. But, for the aforementioned reasons, the average European was more afraid of him then the Inquisition.
