• Tomás de Torquemada. While not ruling a country, I leave his status as "religious leader."

i agree with you

+ Stalin, Hitler, mussolini, and Bush

oh and Osama bin laden - not a leader but at least he is a leader of his own armies.

Bush is an idiot. We know that. The only reason people put Bush in the same league with Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, Hussein is because

1) They're stupid
2) They're out of touch
3) They're hate mongers allowing their politics to cloud what little common sense they have
4) They can't think for themselves and have to spout the politically correct mantra

Myself ihihi .. I mean think about it .. you can complain about politicians till you blue in the face but no one will ever say that ''Me, Myself and I'' Ok i'm babnling lol ... Worst Leader in the world well thats easy : George William Bush .. current president of the USA!! I just hope they don't put his successor after elections .. John McCain .. he's just as worse!! Also .. Jonas Sauvimbi (aka Washington's Man or *****) former dictator of Angola - Thank-God he's dead!! Last one well --- why does no one ever pt the Queen on? She's really a bad boring leader (She does not inspire me and I do not see her as a Queen) ... always just sitting on her thrown, sipping tea, eating crumpets and gently waving her hand and thats it .. end of the world.

Hitler.

Hitler, post 1940, he kept gambling when he shouldn't have.
The Japanese leadership who thought it was a good idea to pick a fight with the USA in 1941.

It's easy when you've contracted Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Can't go past Hitler. Bush may be the worst leader of a relatively free country although he has eroded some of those freedoms. I hardly think he compares to Hitler, Pol Post, Stalin, Mugabe, etc. If you are talking about today Mugabe would be hard to beat.

I'm afraid the Bush administration will not be accountable for the damage they have caused. I'm kind of glad the financial crisis made blind supporters question him. It's only the beginning of a recession. It will be a hell for the next American president (hopefully Obama, as with with McCain USA will continue to be disliked throughout the world) to restore the economy. Furthermore, it's not just about economy. Bush might just be the figure we see. Let us say the neoconservatives. These despicable people are responsible for the death of American soldiers.

America has been neo-conned. It shall rise!

Why is Hitler constantly listed on hear, he was an excellent leader. If the question was asking who the person with the most morbid beliefs was, then it would make sense. You people are being ignorrant. Look how he ended the depression in Germany, look how great of a speaker he was, he was a wise wise man, and a great leader. My personal vote goes out to Stalin, HE was a bad leader, or Mussolini
