Pity we can't add NZ to the list. Oh wait, he isn't a leader. He's just another parrot for the September 10th crowd. |

I'm sorry for showing my ignorance in history but who are some of these people: Pol Pot Idi Amin Nero Hirohito I was looking at this thread last week, and I really couldn't choose because there are some horrid people (In american POV) but they actually were pretty good leaders. I mean take Hitler for example. He was a horrid person, but he was able to rise up, be ambassador, and through death rise to power and basically lead germany to the direction of the third Riche. You were against him and you were against the country. Its scary, but if you look at the defination of leader, Hitler was a pretty good one. The same can be said with Mao, Stalin, and Musslini. (Which I have never understood, why was he such a bad guy) |

Pol Pot: Ordered the deaths of 2 million Cambodians (watch the movie "The Killing Fields") Tried to copy China by turning Cambodia into an agrarian paradise (where do these commies get this crap), but ended up more like Stalin's Soviet Union. Idi Amin: Dictator of Uganda during the 70s. Rumored to be a cannibal, but not proven. Killed his enemies, and he had a lot of them! Nero: Roman emperor. I think he succeeded Claudius (who succeeded Caligula). Have you ever heard the term "Nero fiddled while Rome burned" before? Actually, he was playing a lyre (he thought of himself as a musician/poet). He blamed the fire on the Christians and was the first to persecute them. Hirohito: Emperor of Japan during WWII. Actually before it and after it, too. He died in 1989! He was emperor all through Japan's militaristic period, starting in the early 1930s. Many called him a puppet ruler during that time (because the emperor, while divine, doesn't have a lot of actual power). |
