The world's worst dictators...

Robert Mugabe is at the top of the list of the ten worst dictators in the world according to Parade Magazine’s annual list which was released today.  Mugabe moved up six places from last year’s list—the flawed election and cholera outbreak probably had a lot to do with it.

Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir came, unsurprisingly, in second place.  Further down the listIsayas Afewerki, Eritrea’s dictator who has shown little interest in democratic elections, ranked eight. 

One of the more interesting, and surprising, aspects of Parade’s lists is the section on US-involvement with each nation.  There are some surprising facts here.
