Re: Castro - he's off the list because he transferred power to Raoul last year. Apparently little brother still has a way to go before getting in the top ten.

Also, I don't think that its valid to argue that functioning social or medical programmes make a country any less than a dictatorship. I mean, presumably Saudis enjoy a relatively high standard of living until they step out of the Wahabbi line and are stoned to death, right?


"Worst" strikes me as a moral claim. That's all. I believe anyone not-stupid would agree that Castro's domestic policy is less revolting than all of the above.
