The Cruelest Leader

Originally posted by Renegade Vlad Dracula, he might have killed only a few compared to or Stalin, but he had no ideal or background that gave him the urge to kill. He just impaled people on stakes because of selfish reasons. A noble was impaled just because his nose made noises in front of the Count.

Greetings,

Well, the stories aside, Vlad Tepes (the impaler) technically, did have a motive. He used terror against his enemies. I mean that does not justify his actions but still, considering he was the leader of a small country fighting against an expanding empire with a powerful military force, he tried to use anything availible. A forest of impaled bodies would make even the bravest feel uneasy. He also had his enemies executed most of the time so others would not go that way. So of course he was cruel but he did not kill for no reason. (he had his own sick reason like everyone else on the poll).(Dracula also killed with a motive, he needed to feed. )

Anyway I can not say any one those people was crueler than the others for they all killed people.Only that Attilla killed them in a period where massacres where commonplace whereas Hitler killed them in the "Modern Age".

Originally posted by Sherzod One of the people that they didnt put as an option was Temur the Lame. He was just sicked out. He made a goblet out of a skull of one of his enemies. He also killed his own wife and drank her blood because she had been sleeping with another man. And to be on his council you had to soak your clothes in the blood of your enemy. Whenever he destroyed a town he would cut the head of everyone in the village and leave them in a pile. But he did have a mental problem.

Come oon!! where did you get that???

The story about the drinking of blood, just sucks! Even The Real Dracula hasnt done that, where you get that?

Dracula not drinking blood doesn't mean nobody else can drink it.

Mental problems you say??

Yes I agree, he was cruel, but he was fair, and by no means he had mental problems!!! He did everything for the development of his nation,

Very funny. Did any of these cruel persons do cruelty for the development of their enemies ?

He was cruel to those who betrayed and did not accept his dominance! but, he was fair to the rest!!!

Funny again. Could you please list out the cruel people who were cruel to those whom they loved & liked & cherished & those who were fully loyal to them ?

THE POWER IS IN FAIRNESS!!!

Mao was pretty bad (and got my vote). Not only was he cruel, but he starved a great deal of his population to death in the so-called "Great Leap Forward". Think of what Kim Jong-Il is today, on a scale a thousand times larger.

Obviously it's hard to compare one to another. But some of those "civilized" Roman emperors were pretty bad as well! Not to mention Montezuma and the entire Aztec nation -- one of the cruelest cultures to ever have existed! But I suppose we're being politically correct and that doesn't count. Fine, take the Vikings. They were pretty disgusting in how cruel they were. Almost as bad as the Aztecs. Then there were all the religious wars, from the Middle Ages to the end of the Thirty Years War. You may carp and complain about Hitler, but he was nothing compared to the popes who ordered the Crusades, the conquistadores who took the New World, the kings who oversaw the Inquisition, and the Jesuits who ran the Counter-Reformation, which was the biggest mass-murder campaign of a particular group (Protestant Christians) the planet has seen. B.H. Liddell Hart wrote interesting things about this.

ariel sharon is cruel

I believe claim that Stalin compares with Hitler is just a way to excuse the evil that was the Nazi leader, and his followers.
