1. Pinochet.
I would have said Francisco Franco, but he's still dead.

6. He Would Like to be Hitler, But…
Edited on Wed Oct-24-07 09:15 PM by AndyTiedye
…if he had been running the show in Germany in the '30's, they would have gotten bogged down invading Poland.

7. Nicholas II
Dumb as a box of rocks. Pathetically incompetent. Instinctively tyrannical. No empathy whatsoever.

17. Although you offer a lot of unsavory choices,
he's in a no-class by himself. I can't believe how many people picked Hitler. That's pretty funny.

24. Nero
Robbed the empire blind while ignoring the citizens (not sure if he was involved in frivolous wars but then Rome was always at war.)

25. Pinochet by a mile
Read up on him (google). He privatized SS in Chile, shoved trickle down economics down their throats, outlawed unions and much more. He was a big fan of the economics Prof. at the U. of Chicago whose name I have forgotten.
