Parade of Ghouls

Last Sunday, Parade Magazine carried its annual list of the world's worst dictators. Competition was fierce, but Sudanese murderer-in-chief Omar Hassan al-Bashir managed to grab the uncoveted title, edging out North Korea's Kim Jong-Il for the third year in a row. This officially makes the Dear Leader (who incidentally turns 65 on Friday) the Avis of evil. Well, maybe the competition is not as fierce as one might think. This year's number 4, Chinese dictator Hu Jintao, made special efforts to bolster fellow dictators like Bashir and number 7 bad guy, Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe. Oh, and after a long period of "rebuilding," including the campaign to destroy Chechnya, Russia's Vladimir Putin managed to crack the top 20.
