The Ten Most Decadent Dictators
The Times has the list:
- Kim Jong-il
- Ferdinand Marcos
- Nicolae Ceausescu
- Saparmurat Niyazov
- Idi Amin
- Joseph Stalin
- Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
- Saddam Hussein
- Mobutu Sese Soku
- Suharto
My personal “favourite” (if that’s the appropriate word) is the Ugandan autarch Idi Amin, whose craziness brought him to claim the style of King of Scotland.
