The World's 10 Worst Dictators

[annabanana]

According to Parade Magazine.. you know, the one in EVERY SUNDAY PAPER IN THE COUNTRY they are:
1) Omar al-Bashir, Sudan
2) Kim Jong II, N Korea
3) Than Shwe, Burma
4) Hu Jintao, China
5) Crown Prince Abdullah, Saudi Arabia
6) Muammar al_Quaddafi, Libya
7) Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan
8) Saparmurat Niyazov, Turkmenistan
9) Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe
10) Teodoro Obiang Nguema, Equatorial Guinea

Notice...Iran's Mullah's aren't there, and no Syria either!

And here I thought Parade was another arm of BushCo.

1. Yeah and 5,6,7, and 8 are our allies....

2. How come they missed Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld?

3. The criteria was for singular dictators

Clearly Parade hasn't gotten on board with the unoly trinity concept yet.

5. I had the same thought yesterday at work...

and was looking around for a photo of * in some of the magazines in the break room. I couldn't find any in the limited time I had...

A little while later my supervisor walked by and tossed the Parade on my desk...he had found a picture of the Shrub in one of my old Time magazines and pasted it over one of the pictures on the cover.

We left it for the third shift supervisor who is a right wing nutjob. He wasn't impressed :)

6. That was what I thought ,too.

Bushco should be first on the list. They seem to control the world, or are trying to.

9. Technically they aren't dictators or at least we must play like they are

not: such would not be good for the freedom and liberty bit and not play well to the homefolks who aren't up to a heavy dose of reality.

4. Shhesh, They Forgot Uzbekistan's Islom Karimov

Another buddy of bush**. He likes to boil his opposition group members in water to toture and kill them!

Uzbekistan President to Visit Washington
Statement by the Press Secretary


President Bush will welcome President of Uzbekistan Islom Karimov to the Oval Office on March 12, 2002. The Presidents discussion will reflect the new relationship that is evolving between the United States and Uzbekistan. The countries unprecedented level of cooperation first became evident in the fight against terrorists in Afghanistan. The United States looks forward to deepening cooperation not only on security matters, but also on human rights and political and economic reform, all of which are essential elements of the robust and lasting relationship we hope to build with Uzbekistan and its people.




~snip~

Karimov's record on civil rights and press freedom has met with considerable criticism in the international community. In particular, outspoken British Ambassador in Uzbekistan Craig Murray has pointed at Karimov's regime boiling people to death, and the United Nations has found torture "institutionalized, systematic, and rampant" in Uzbekistan's justice system.

7. 7 of 10 are oil exporting states. Pattern here? Cassus Belli?

Hey. They forgot Hugo Chavez. Oh well, maybe he's still on the other list: targets for "covert" action.

This proves that Parade Magazine isn't a classified source.

GOVERNMENT NON-DISCLOSURE NOTICE: while not classified, this information can not be divulged to the public as it is "sensitive" in nature. :evilgrin: :eyes:

8. Where's Castro?

Doesn't he have nukes and bio weapons?

Oh, that's right, he has the nerve to push for destabilizing education and health care.
