[hobie237]

Just thought I would pass this list along- the 10 worst dicatators and why they made the list, along with 10 (dis?)honorable mentions.

Cause there are so many great dictators? I guess I don't understand...

Just thought it was an interesting article. It kind of makes me wonder if they compete for positions.

Its funny how my Developing Nations professor tells us how many of these countries are so far ahead of us and culturally superior.

Don't take college professors seriously about their personal views on life. I had an economics professor in college that had memorized every line written by Dr. Seuss. He would stand in front of the class quoting the words from many of Dr. Seuss's stories. Claiming that everything Dr. Seuss wrote was written specifically in relation to economics.

You can draw parallels in almost anything.

Humans are all daft in some or many regards.

I spend quite a bit of time over worrying what area of insanity I inhabit.

I think Parade magazine is way off on this...

At this time, my choice for #1 is Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

I hope the link worked, and you took time to read it. I posted it for information, not political debate.

I guess my confusion is over the fact anything that warrants a 'top 10' in my mind, is a a good thing. I don't see this as a good thing at all, and think that looking at something as negative as this in a 'light-hearted, Casey Casum' tone is weird.
