  - that might be worse -- nm - crash davis Apr 11, 22:05 6
    - true, but he probably legitimately won the first two elections, and then resigned after he stole the third. - mafic Apr 11, 22:12 5
      - Yeah, I was just thinking more along the lines of "I've heard of a benign dictator, but never a benign war criminal" -- nm - crash davis Apr 11, 22:14 4
        
        a lot of it was fighting Shining Path, so not like they're beacons of morality, but better than Shining Path isn't exactly a high bar? -- nm - mafic Apr 11, 23:11
        
        I'm pretty sure a handful of mideast and far east countries would suggest Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, you know, POV -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 11, 22:23 2
        
        Not all POVs are equal though, or as my cat used to say "Cameras should only go up the butt when doing a colonoscopy" - crash davis Apr 11, 22:34
