Worst World Leaders

[Beffudled Sheep]

The title says it all. Who do you think was the worst leader of any country in any time period?
I'm not sure if this has been done before. I checked and didn't find anything so probably not.
My choice is Hitler for obvious reasons.

Well I think Hitler would top the list.
I wonder how long before someone says George W. Bush?

 

[Xojins]

This thread is going to turn into a George W. Bush basing thread so quickly.

Hugo Chaves, Can't even sing for crap

Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and come to mind. Genocide is a terrible thing.

The thing I always find ironic with Hitler is his huge amount of wasted potential. He had a lot of charisma and determination, if he put those to something other than genocide or war (or been less bat-shit bonkers), he could have done great things.

 

[Mister Benoit]

Jean Chrétien

I hope not. I mean why would it? He was not the best president but there have been much worse leaders, like the Roman ruler Caligula or Nero.

The extremely ironic thing is that the programs he started at the beginning of his presidency are nearly identical to those Obama wants to set up.

I also think Hitler was not entirely his own person, he was stark-raving mad and high on Meth 90% of the time.

Maximillian Robespierre, now there's a bad leader.

 

[Molten Discharge]

Gorden Brown, Tony Blair, George Bush Jr. In that order.

I'm not a neo-nazi but the point has to be made that as far as fulling the role of a leader Hitler did his job freakin' well. Shame the chap was an insane racist.

 

[Snowalker]

I hate George W. Bush, but this goes to Hitler.

 

[Fightgarr]

Jean Chrétien

He wasn't as bad as some of Canada's leaders and I actually like him a deal more than Harper. But then again I was pretty young when Chretien was in power so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

I don't think GE is a very good world leader. General Electric owns more than 1/7th of all media outlets in the world. Its annual earnings total more than the GDP of Belgium. This, one would think, that, as an economic spearhead, it would be a good leader for the corporate world. The problem is that GE is also the largest producer and provider of weaponry in the world.

HITLER is an old fart, plenty of bad leaders NOW

 

[Combined]

1. Stalin
2. Pol Pot
3. Mugabe
4. Every dictator Ever, except for the three above.
5. George W. Bush Jr.

Im surprised nobody else has said chavez, that guy hates you all

 

[Ravenseeker]

anyone besides Nelson who has ever tried to rule a country in Africa
Hitler

 

[Aardvark]

The 39th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter.

He was history's greatest monster!!

Hitler was actually not that bad. Sure he was racist, but that doesnt cover the fact that he nearly kicked the collective asses of all of Europe. The only 3 reasons he lost "dubbya-dubbya-too" are:
A) he started war with the soviets before he finished the war with Europe.
B) they over engineered their vehicals to the point that they were irrepairable, expensive, and took way too long to make while their economy was in the shitters.
finally
C) America stepped in and open up a can of whoop ass and used Nazi's as a can opener.

Hitler was a pretty excellent leader (you know, aside from that "holocaust" deal but i mean come on, whats a few dead jews between freinds right?)

I'd have to say Kim Jon Ill.

I'm not afraid to put it bluntly: You're a Nazi.

Or just a troll.
