Evil Leaders

"Evil Leaders"? Really? We're going by that? Will we see a corresponding "Good Leaders" quiz? "Evil" is just a tad hard to define all that clearly, making it a poor basis for a quiz that's supposed to be grounded in fact. Now, I'd probably consider most or all of these people "evil" within my system of ethics as well (though I'm a bit torn on Napoleon), but I still think something like "dictator" would be a more useful description for these individuals. And I have to wonder if these answers imply that leaders like Kaiser Wilhelm II, Kim Jong-Il, Lenin, Haile Selassie, Qin Shi Huangdi or Empress Dowager Cixi weren't evil. Certainly they ruled more or less despotically and disastrously and are to blame for a great deal of human suffering. "Evil Leaders" as a quiz title is about as useful as "Greatest Songs Ever (According to Me)".

Also, the leader of the Derg was MENGISTU HAILE Mariam. And the former Nigerian head of state is YAKUBU GOWON, and he's not quite that reviled in Africa.
