1. Kim Jong-il (North Korea)
2. King Fahd and Prince Abdullah (Saudi Arabia)
3. Saddam Hussein (Iraq)
4. Charles Taylor (Liberia)

7. Saparmurat Niyazov (Turkmenistan)
8. Muammar Gaddafi (Libya)
9. Fidel Castro (Cuba)
10. Alexander Lukashenko (Belarus)
Notice how we asked #2 on the list above to help us topple #3?

"The 10 Worst Living Dictators"
Parade; New York; Feb 16, 2003; Wallechinsky, David
To compile his "10 Worst" list, Wallechinsky consulted independent human-rights organizations that are willing to expose both left- and right-wing regimes, such as Freedom House, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. "I looked at the documented suppression of those freedoms and rights that Americans take for granted," he says. "Freedom of speech and religion, freedom to choose elected representatives and to disagree with their government, and the right to a fair trial." He gave "extra credit" to those dictators who torture prisoners and others, execute political opponents, cause their citizens to starve or to suffer malnutrition and who interfere violently in the politics of countries other than their own.
Wallechinsky gave "dishonorable mention" to several other dictators:

The preceding list does not include all of the world's dictators. Sad to say, the competition for the 10 Worst Dictators is stiff. Among those who did not make the list but who did earn "Dishonorable Mentions" are Omar al-Bashir of Sudan, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Bashar al-Assad of Syria and the leaders of the People's Revolutionary Party of Laos.

1. don't forget ~ Osama Bin Laden

I know he's not on the list, but it would be nice to find him since he is responsible for 9/11 and other things.

2. Hmmm

well, the US already put a bounty on Taylor's head.

It will either be Kim-Jong Il or Fidel Castro. I say Castro because the US always likes to attack countries without WMD's. :shrug:
