Regardless of who's #1 or #10, many Americans will read the name Islam Karimov or Saparamut Niyazov or Omar al-Bashir for the first time here, which is a positive (albiet minor) thing.

I don't understand the aim of any classification of dictators, it's illogical to appreciate the cruelty and atrocity of every tyrant and rank them. Everyone of them can go as far as he can in his dirty affairs. Just some of them have more or less restraining internal and external factors conditioning the intensity of theirs atrocities. That's it, no need no more to organise "miss world" competition. Just punish them as they deserve it and make a point with all that boolshit. Prosto zaeblo vsyo uje, prosto zaeblo.
