"The Hateful Eight of the World"

This post has no relation with the Quentin Tarantino's movie The Hateful Eight. :)

The people listed below are the most hated people of the 20th century.  Their cruelty will not be erased from the history.  These former dictators showed us how one should believe in their dreams and change this world completely.  What they did may be wrong.  But, we can learn a lot of lessons from these evil leaders.  They believed in what they did.  If we look into their life, we could see some strange similarities in them. Leadership is a combined form of skills and abilities, not an exposure of personality.  It is ironical that these leaders have more followers than our great ideal people in the history.  What I am saying is if they can do such things from the same situation which we come from, then we too can do it.  If they destroyed the world, we can rebuild it.  After all, they too are mere humans...!!!
