PARADE Magazine has published its annual list of “The World’s Worst Dictators.” Topping the list is the man overseeing the genocide in Darfur, Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir.

At least three of the top twenty are important friends and allies of the United States in the war on terror: #5 King Abdullah, Saudi Arabia; #9 Muammar al-Qaddafi, Libya; #15 Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan.

“See, Lois? I told you we had allies. Slobodan, you made it!”

David Wallechinsky, PARADE contributing editor and author of Tyrants: The World’s 20 Worst Living piled the list. PARADE e out with an annual list since 2003.
