THE WORLD'S 10 WORST DICTATORS

Parade Magazine does an annual report on the worst dictators. Here is the list from, The World's 10 Worst Dictators by David Wallechinsky:

• 1) Omar al-Bashir, Sudan
• 2) Kim Jong-il, North Korea
• 3) Sayyid Ali KhamEnei, Iran
• 4) Hu Jintao, China
• 5) King Abdullah, Saudi Arabia
• 6) Than Shwe, Burma (Myanmar)
• 7) Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe
• 8) Islam Karimov, Uzbekistan
• 9) Muammar al-Qaddafi, Libya
• 10) Bashar al-Assad, Syria

To see #'s 11-20 go here! Wallechinsky used the U.S. Department of State, Human Rights Watch and several other organizations to compile his list.

I find it interesting when you consider some of the liberal leanings of some of these Human Rights' groups and yet they still have Bush's axis of evil guys as #2 and #3. Maybe W knew what he was talking about during that speech after all.

Also, note that Syria's dictator was on the list, the one that Rick Warren praised for having a country where Christians and Muslims were able to get along.
