    Default Favorite Dictator from History?

    Simple topic. Out of all the dictators in history of any country, which one would be your favorite?

    Mine would be Joseph Stalin of Russia during World War II. I think it's the moustache. I feel it is the sole factor that separates him from other dictators. I'm actually jealous of it and hope to have one some day.
    Don't read this.

    Seriously, just don't.

    Nah. I had a mustache once. It sucked.

    I once contemplated making world villain action figures.

    "Deluxe Vladimir Lenin, with his Bolshevik Blade and Mega-Marxist Cannon!"

    But I have to go with Napoleon. I watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure yesterday.

    I'm partial to a few Castroisms myself.

    If you look past the insanity and the mass murders, Hitler was quite brilliant.

    Stalin sucks. > Worse'n Hitler, in the long run (though both are nasty beyond belief).

    My favourite dictator? I'll have to go for Caesar. He had it all... An adventurous life, a glorious military career, the Roman Republic's last dying words and a bloody good death scene.

    I mean, C'MON. The guy has, in a LOT of languages, a single, very powerful word after his name. Kaizer, Keisari, Kejsare, Tshar. SHAKESPEARE wrote a play 'bout him.

    Caesar salad?

    You know, Saddam Hussein is quite underrated. He was involved in more wars than Hitler, and had a better moustache.

    As soon as I read the thread title, Stalin immediately popped into my mind.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks he was badass. If I made a history videogame, he'd be the last boss.

    I think Caligula is underrated though. Nero takes all the credit for being the worst Roman Emperor ever, but Caligula was even worse.

    To hell with Battletoads and Double Dragon.
    THIS is the ultimate team.

    Yasser Araffat. He's just so cute and adoreable and cuddly and what-not. And he's alive, too!*

    I like... I like... I like... Napoleon. Because he showed the world just what shorties were capable of. Yeah, think of that next time you hold something over my head, jerk.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Ra, ra, Rasputin.

    I don't know what he did, but such a good song.

    I don't have a favorite person who killed millions of people.

    I'd have to say the Cid's Knights. Because they are like the Shinra.

    *turns on anti-ban armor, and runs like hell*

    OH GOD, OW, FINE, UH, I HATE, I MEAN, I LIKE, NAPOLEON, OH GOD, MAKE IT STOP
