	I like it, but if you're taking just last names, you should accept simply "Kim" for Kim Jong-il.

	Josip Broz Tito wasn't a dictator, he was a president.

	@ALcu - half the people on this list had a legitimate title. It doesn't mean that they weren't absolute rulers of totalitarian states.

	I would rather say Brezhnev wasn't really a dictator. The Soviet Union after Stalin had something like a collective leadership, Brezhnev wasn't almighty.

	Josef Stalin (1922-1953) for the USSR and Enver Hoxha (1944-1985)for Albania would have been better choices IMO.
