[ARCADIA]

Whoever did this missed Castro.

The guy who put this together probably sports a Castro T-shirt and beard.

[Popman]

Kim Jong-il should be # 1 since he has the big red NUKE button he is building

[Flavius Josephus]

This list is only for dictators that are in power right now.

[ARCADIA]

Castro's pretty much done all the damage he's going to do.

Not at all. Just recently he has created his little protige Hugo Chavez, who has in turn given us a drug lord as Bolivia's new President. Castro is still a very dangerous snake who has neither mellowed nor repented.

[Teacher317]

Saddam ain't in power, anymore.

(Yup, it still feels good to say it!)

[Lejes Rimul]

Anyone notice the percentage of the list filled by adherents of the "religion of peace?"

30%, what's your point? There's more Chicoms and their allies than there are al-Qaeda sympathizers.

[Past Your Eyes]

Must be they didn't poll Harry Belafonte.

[Gay State Conservative]

Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and Franco are also missing from the list.

I think this is a list of dictators who are still in power.I,for one,would love to see a poll done over at DUmmie Land naming the three most dangerous/murderous dictators of the 20th Century.

Mine would be Mao,Stalin,Hitler (in that order).I'm sure DUmmie Land would say Hitler,Hitler,Hitler,Hitler,Hitler....

[stm]

That was my point. These are sitting dictators

[null and void]

Naaaaah. Hitler, Bushie, Raygun...

[null and void]

I wonder why? He's such an authority...

I counted 60% Muslims in the list. Not that there's that much difference in outlook between Muslims and Communists....

11) Sen. Edward "Splash" Kennedy -- Massachusetts.

Under the lifetime regime of "Ted" Kennedy, citizens of his state have routinely been denied their rights to self-defense and have been robbed of their income to fund public works projects of questionable worth. A mass exodus of residents has resulted, pushing the tax burden on remaining citizens even higher. Kennedy's reign has also created a milieu in which corruption flourishes, and encouraged other mediocre candidates to seek office in the Senate. Kennedy is described by his contemporaries as "a drunken bagpipe full of fish guts." In 1969, after a boozy orgy at his palatial estate near Martha's Vineyard, he drove his car off a bridge, drowning a young lady who was his passenger. He was never prosecuted for the death.

Kennedy is the youngest son of a dynastic family, all of whose sons have met with early, violent deaths. By bribing and pressuring officials, the family has managed to cover up repeated indiscretions by its members, but none so egregious as those committed by Edward.

[Lejes Rimul]

30% are true believers. The other 3 - despite one having the name Islam lol - and are about as Muslim as Hitler was Catholic. They're closer to China than they are to Saudi Arabia or Iran.

*** My parents used to comment that FDR was the closest this country every came to a dictator. ***

Dictator might be taking it a tad far, but not by much. He was however, undoubtedly the biggest criminal to ever occupy the WH.

In comparison, FDR's criminal acts make Clinton's look like cheating at marbles.

[apackof2]

Whoever made this list forgot the longest-dictating commie dictator, only 90 miles from Florida.....Fidel Castro.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

His father was Irving Wallace.

[stm]

nah, like any dimwit, they would change the reality of the poll to include the 21st century so they could put GWB at the top of the list.

[AlphaOneAlpha]

This is bogus! This is not a list of the world's worst dictators, it's the list of all those heads of states that Kerry said supported him being elected in 2004. But at that time he said he was sworn to secrecy and could not tell us the names.

[Past Your Eyes]

Good pernt A1A.
BTW, I used to answer to Brave Two Yankee on the net call.
