Who are the Worst leaders of all time

[silver 2039]

Nehru was an idealist not a realist he stopped Ali Bhai Patel from destroying Pakistan because he wanted to live " in peace" with them. Patel was a realist and knew that Pakistan would forever be a thorn in India's side and he wanted to remove it. Also it was because of Nehrus incomptence we lost the 1962 war with China plus there is the fact that he is Congress Party
Indra Ghandi was Nehru's daughter she became a pratical dictator declared emergency and martial law and had political opponents jailed. Also she was hoplessly curropt and part of Congress Party which is well known for their curroption. Also there was that thing where she sent troops into the Sikh tempal and hundreds were killed.
Rajiv Ghandi is Indhra's son as you can see they were practically a dynasty he was curropt and Congress Party as well.
Argunzeb was Mughal Emperor the worst while he waged war while millions died in famines and suffered under poverty. He alinated his allies and subjects gave the British their first foothold in India to conquer it. He was responsible for the downfall of the Mughal Empire
Shah Jahn built extragvent buildings while the common people straved and suffered living in mud huts. After the Taj Mahal was built he had all the laborers and artisans who made it hands cut off so no one could ever duplaciate it.

What? I fail to see how that relates to what I said.

Perhaps I'll explain it to you when I can be assed...

Silver 2039, Shah Jahan also had their tongues cut of so they could never describe it, and their eyes pulled out so they might never see anything more beautiful. Him, Indira Ghandi and Aurangzeb all deserve to be listed as amongst the Worst Leaders of All Time too.

WHo are the worst leader sof all time!?

why anyone mertinign an article- or even a paraghraph, or merelly a sentence in an article by Kafka2 ofcourse

Hitler will always be the first name that comes to my mind when it comes to horrible people and leaders. Mainly because it happened just over a half-century ago.

Hitler killed millions, but isn't the only leader to carry that distinction.

 

[teknalee]

The worst leader of all time is Pope Innocent II, He killed called up for a childrens crusade and is responsible for almost as many murders as hitler. He killed Jews and musilms alike, not to mention the murders of 666* (ironic isn't it) Templar Knights, and scienctists.

 

[Johann MacLeod]

why has no one metioned Harding, considered to be america's worst president. or Robespierre.

 

[Gagliaudo]

@Teknalee: are you sure???
Innocent II (1130-43) wasn't related with any crusade: he fought with Normans in South Italy (and he didn't won); he fought agains anti-pope Anacletus II (whose roman family origins were ebraic, not other), and was helped by S.Bernard de Clairvaux (who wrote the 'manifest' of the Templars, the "Laude novae militiae"...), and didn't kill any Templar.
Perhaps you intend Innocent III (1198-1216), but things don't change:
he disapproved Frenc-Venetian conquest of Costantinopolis in the so-called 4th crusade (1202-4), cause his intention was to free Holy Sepulchre; he never exorted to persecute Jews; he gave input to Crusade against Albigensian cathars, but only after cathars killed his envoys (nobody at those time wanted be a papal inquisitor, cause it was very dangerous, many of them were killed), and after he saw that the crusade was beginning a 'personal affair' of the barons, he changed his mind. Surely he had political interest linked to his papal power - but this was the political idea of those times (we always think with today's mentality, forgetting that mentality changes trough the centuries...).
So I really wonder how you can say Innocent III (who made his error as every man) was the worst leader... in front of Hitler, Stalin, Pol-pot and other 'so-beauty' guys...
I didn't read those things neither in Templars websites...

However: bye.
I apologize for this long post, I think I wrote without offend anyone.

 

[Gagliaudo]

I forgot:the so-called children crusade was in 1212, and Innocent III wasn't related with it; more, when he saw what was happening, he disapproved cause it was a non-sense. Children crusade was popular-originated (by 2 boys: Etienne, french, and Nicholas,german).

 

[Pointlessness]

The worst leader of all time is Pope Innocent II, He killed called up for a childrens crusade and is responsible for almost as many murders as hitler.

I find that hard to believe, there were far less people alive back then. Do you mean in proportion to the population of the world?

 

[teknalee]

Im really sorry for that i ment Clement. My bad.

 

[teknalee]

I wasnt really paying attention to what i was writing, I was watching that 70's show I ment to more or less include the catholic church not just one pope. Im not trying to insult anyone but between 1000 and 1700 the Catholic church was responisble for more deaths than Hitler. The childrens crusade plus all of the others were not just one pope but a couple. And they didn't disaprove of the crusades. In that time the growing threat from the Muslims was more than the church could bare. With fighting also in the European community the church saw a perfect opertunity to both rid the world of the Islamic threat and spread the power of the church through Europe. This lead to Kings and just about every one who was European for 400 years to be deaply involed with the Church.

 

[LLXerxes]

Bush! There are some others, but, there are too many.

 

[Free Enterprise]

why has no one metioned Harding, considered to be america's worst president. or Robespierre.

I wouldn't rank Harding quite as the least effective President on a list although he definitely would not rank very high. James Buchanan perhaps was less effective (for both refusing to take an effective stand against slavery and not taking action to avert or quell the separatist movement leading to the Civil War) and in terms of atrocities Andrew Jackson did some pretty gruesome things.

 

[Johann MacLeod]

Grant was a pretty horrible president too, under Harding corruption was more rampant than ever, since he couldn't say "no" to any of his friends, unfortunately all his friends were incredibly corrupt.

 

[HamaticBabylon]

The last Babylonian king (Napolish..I think) failed to maintain the bowman formation and the massive fortification of the great city.

Or did persia and Babylon have an agreement to change the course of power!

 

[Stefan Haertel]

Nabonidus is the one you meant.

 

[Mongoloid Cow]

And IIRC, the guards opened the gates of Babylon to Cyrus the Great.

 

[Revolutionary]

@Revolutionary:
I'm not agree: I think it would be more correct to say that religion is a part inside human being, so whe humans make war, they can choose using religion to enforce themselves. The fact that, through the history, christian peoples fought wars, not means that Christianism is a war religion, cause Christ's message is so far from war... Not the same about some (not all) Mohamed adfirmations... And that's a fact, too. Then... >>>

>>>
@Xen:
name me a religion war before the rise of Islam (expansion of jihad at the cry: "Allah Akbar!" is a fact...). Battle of Pons Milvius, too, wasn't between
Christians and Pagans, but before two political leaders, Costantinus vs Massentius, and there were christian troops in Costantinus' army, that's all.

@calgacus:
I don't know well Asoka's conquest, I'm quite sure Assyrian conquests weren't religion wars, I accept - in a certain sense - that Mesoamerican intestine wars to catch prisoners for sacrifices can be considered 'religion wars', this is aninteresting and original observation...

I meant religious conflict I didn't necessary mean wars, and by religious I don't mean the "real perpose" or teachings of the religions I mean there institution or church.

and there has been countless conflicts and wars caused by these in pursuit of power and influence

and what are you trying to say about Mohamed? are you saying that he promoted wars and that Islam is a war religion, because if you are then your logic can also be used about Christianity considering that countless acts of genoside have been committed in the name of the Christian Church, much much more then in the name of the Islamic Church

Islam is not a "war" religion anymore then Christianity or any other religions, it is human beings that use these ideologies in order to justify there crimes

and religion is not "a part of inside of human beings" it is nothing more then a belief or idea and there institutions are nothing more then a means to control peoples actions and impose there beliefs and values on people

religions are created by human beings, war is created by human beings, all wars are the fault of human beings, religious institutions are nothing more then groups of human beings that have the same beliefs created by human beings, religious institutions are responsible for there wars which are caused by the human beings that run these institutions

1. Fieldmarshal Hague - Complete damned moron.
2. Admiral Churchill - Arrogant fool who couldn't learn from history.
3. Whoever was responsible for the British engaging the Germans at Jutland, he also deserves the title.
4. Any idiot who could have prevented the revolutionary war but didn't
