In your opinion, who are the Top 10 Worst Dictatorsi n today's world? Also, specify your reasons for choosing each dictator.
My list:
1. Saddam Hussein of Iraq - killed more than 500,000 people (including ethnic Kurds - his "ethnic cleansing program" - south Iraqi Shi'ites, political opponents/critics, and lots of others, even if they were compeltely innocent), was willing to poison his own people during the gulf war and blame their deaths on the allied forces.
2. Kim Jong Il of North Korea - impisons many people, also killed some 150,000 people just for being born - part of his campaign for the repression and torture of descendants of political opponents.
3. Edited for trolling.
4. The Ayatollah (supreme religious ruler) of Iran (I don't know his name) - repressive politics and policies, discrimination against women, little freedom.
5. Saparmurat Niyazov "Turkmenbashi" of Turkmenistan - day-to-day repression of many people (imprisons polticial opponents and critics, and exiles or ostracizes relatives), an almost ridiculous cult of personality (renamed two months after himself), statues of him all over the country...
6. Charles Taylor of Liberia - tortures, forced labor, rape...
7. King and Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia (don't know their names) - they still don't reform and modernize the country (women are still repressed). One of the more recent scandals is when one of the schools was on fire - the girls were forbidden to escape because the boys were allowed to leave the inferno first and the gov't and school people didn't want the boys and girls to interact, as a result 15 or so girls ended up getting burns.
8. Than Shwe of Burma (or Myanmar) - repressive military dictatorship which held free elections in 1990 but when a pro-democracy party won the majority of the vote, the gov't voided the election results and have been ruling absolutely without elections since then.
9. Teodore Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea - arrests and tortures political opponents, disrespects human rights, most of the GDP of $4676 goes to him while the average worker/citizen takes home less than $2 a day.
10. Muammar Al-Quaddafi of Libya - constant repression, supports terrorism.
Moderator Action: And you sir, best look up what dictator menas, BEFORE you stink up this OT again.

france has oil contracts endangered by a war in Iraq, not the US, if anyone wands to get profit out of Iraq, its France, by keeping saddam in power. Bush is not a dictator, he was democratically elected and there are things called checks and balances in the american political system.
Not even a country as powerful as the USA would dare challenge Fergie. I thought Man United was respulsive as it is but now...
That does not mean it deserves daylight however.
