The list was begun as the one offered by "The 10 Worst Living Dictators" Parade; New York; Feb 16, 2003; Wallechinsky, David. I've stricken those that are off the list creating an immediate need for editing. Charles Taylor has retired, allowed exile in Niger. Saddam Hussein was deposed by force, of course.
The list may have been edited by dkosopedia community members by now and bear little resemblence to the original. More info on the original version here here.
