Most despiseable world leader today?

Who is the leader, (presently sitting) who most infuriates you or you consider the most worthy of contempt?

Is it Robert Mugabe?

Is it Kim Jong Il?

Is it Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?

Is it King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia?

Is it Hugo Chavez?

Is it Vladimir Putin?

Is it Hu Jintao?

Is it George W. Bush?

Whoever it is, you're bound to have someone with the dubious honour of occupying that place in your worldview. So sound off!

The liberal dilemma. They'll so want to say Bush....but (hopefully) realize that will make them look like the raving moonbats they are.

Gotta go with Mugabe, I think.

Find it hard to be infuriated by anyone other than the cock in number 10

Felipe Calderón

Pascal Couchepin, otherwise known as The Butcher.

He must be stopped.

Robert Mugabe just waiting for a Paveway IV to smack him right in the forehead.

It depends what your criteria are.

The most dangerous is Bush (accepting that Cheney et al pull the strings) just because he has the most power.
The worst ideologically is probably Kim Jong Il.

Pretty impressive how henry and Dan say Bush without saying Bush.

I'd say Mugabe (with Kim Jong Il a close second)

I'm curious about this. I know Mugabe is acting the dickhead at the minute and is responsible for some fairly bad things, but I'm not aware of these being on the scale that one sees in North Korea.

I recently watched a documentary about some North Korean people. They are so indoctrinated about him that it's scary. He has them completely believing that there are famines in the country because they are too lazy. But that the reason he's fat (!) is because he doesn't get enough sleep.

That motherfucker running Venzuela

Probably because Mugabe's been in the news more recently--especially with the shenanegans and violence connected with his desire to stay in power. In terms of overall nastiness and douchebaggery, Il takes the cake.

Kim Jong-Il, because he's already so "accomplished" is the worst. Robert Mugabe's on a similar track, but it's unlikely he'll be able to starve as many of his countrymen as ol' Kim.

Ahmadinejad's not far behind. I suppose his country isn't any shittier under him than it was under previous mullah-certified assholes, but he's liable to set off a regional war the way he's going.

Chavez is a real dickhead, but Venezuela's wealth will carry it a ways before his policies engender true desperation. But he's trouble for his neighbors.

Vlad Putin's not winning many friends, reversing some of the more democratic trends in Russia. But I'm not too worried about a resurgent bear in the short-term. Putin's too busy filling the coffers by selling oil to the West.

Abdullah and Hu Jintao are opening their countries, the latter moreso than the former. That's good for us and them.

George W. Bush is low in his domestic approval ratings and not much liked amongst many of our allies, but at least he's responsible for Saddam Hussein and the Taliban not being on this list...

Before opening the thread I was going to go with a tossup between Mugabe and Lil' Kim. I'd say Chavez is waiting in the wings, but it'll be around 20 years before I'll put him on par with the other two.

As always, Oprah flies under the radar.

You know...

I think I'd vote for Oprah before I'd vote for Obama or McCain.

She is the Antichrist.

The most despicable world leader today is... Me!

Because I won't let myself be put into a position of power. I have simple solutions to all the world's problems, but I'm too lazy and selfish to want to share them with everyone else. How bad is that?

(No, you don't want to know what those solutions are. You'll sleep easier at night not knowing...)

Mallory has been here FOREVER, he just doesn't post often.

I was going to say Mugabe, just in terms of overall bloodthirstiness, but Kim Jong Il may well have killed more people.

Should there be a distinction based on how they do what they do? Does having people burned to death require a greater level of depravity than letting them starve to death through bad policies, or is a death a death, regardless of how it's caused?

I think it's a good principle to say that anyone who actively seeks power should never be allowed to get it.

So cute. You're even seeing LEFTISTS!!!!!! in a thread full of right wing psychos agreeing with each other

I'm sure that Fox Mulder, Marathon, Dan Leach, Darkening and Henryhill will appreciate that comment. (Does it means that you don't see any "leftists" among them, and class them all as "right wing psychos"?)

They are mere pebbles in the desert

You lie. Everyone knows that Lanzman is the most despicable world leader today, what with his Teal Colored Reign of Terror and all.

Cass is trolling up the thread again.

What a surprise.

If you're going to admit Putin is pulling the strings in Russia (or are just ignorant of the fact that Medvedev is the current Russian president?) you might want to reconsider putting Bush on the list.

As for what I think most people in the world would say: it's Bush.
Personally? Hu's on first.

How'd I end up in that company? :flow2:
