World's Worst Dictators

By Ptowns

ADVERTISEMENTS

Kim Jong-Il (pictured) tops Parade's list of the World's Worst Dictators this year. Parade says the dictators are chosen based on human-rights abuses, the level of suffering caused by their leadership, and the amount of absolute power they possess. On Parade.com you can read more about why each dictator was chosen and what their link to the United States is. You can also see where they ranked last year and chose who you think is "the worst." Personally, I chose Sudan's Omar Al-Bashir because his government is responsible for an ongoing genocide. Also, Pervez Musharraf's position could be up for grabs soon with Pakistan holding elections Monday. However, many feel the elections will be rigged, in which case Musharraf may deserve a promotion on the list.

Parade's 10 Worst Dictators of 2008
1. Kim Jong-Il, North Korea
2. Omar Al-Bashir, Sudan
3. Than Shwe, Burma (Myanmar)
4. King Abdullah, Saudi Arabia
5. Hu Jintao, China
6. Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe
7. Sayyid Ali Khamenei, Iran
8. Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan
9. Islam Karimov, Uzbekistan
10. Isayas Afewerki, Eritrea
