	Walking like an Egyptian could get you shot in Fiji.

	Quickly browsing through the names made me think I'd do rather well as I knew most of them. Turns out actually linking them to their respective countries was much harder than I forsaw.

	Grats on your first publish old neighbour!

	I don't think controversial is an accurate description of many of these figures. It's not really a controversy if everyone agrees the figure was/is terrible and/or evil.

	Surprised not to see George W on here. Queue the thumbs down.

	It's horrible that the second time I've seen my country in a quiz here, it's got to do with a horrible dictator. :( Well, there you go, that's the reason we're also included among the world's heaviest beer drinkers (according to the first quiz I noticed Panama in). Obviously. sigh

	I'd never heard of the Polish leader - but it was one of the easiest to link!!

	No Napoleon?

	I wouldn't put Chiang kai-Shek in this league. I would put Mao Zedong in there, though.

	thatcher?

	I agree with moviegoer74. Some of these guys would be better described as "universally loathed" than "controversial."

	Incidentally, the recently elected South Korean president, Park Geun-hye, is the daughter of the military dictator on the list here. Not a popular choice among the younger generation of the country at all but hey, if you don't vote, you wind up with a dictator's daughter as your country's leader. Sigh.

	put Thatcher on here

	wgert:	Apr 20th, 2013 at 00:27 GMT		13 points
	The title of this quiz isn't the greatest. These are all dictators, if not genocidal madmen. You could certainly argue for W and Thatcher on a list of most "controversial" list, but they don't belong with these folks.

	Just flat out evil is not controversial. There is no controversy about Hitler (as one of several examples here) - no one serious defends him.

	Somewhere in hell, Chiang Kai-shek is telling Chairman Mao to suck it.

	UltimateChamp13:	Apr 20th, 2013 at 01:50 GMT		8 points
	Wow. I racially profiled just about everybody.

	I'm in agreement with Emperor Ziggy and Koltrane.

	iceman1731:	Apr 20th, 2013 at 03:33 GMT		15 points
	I think on some level every leader is controversial.

	kcostell:	Apr 20th, 2013 at 03:55 GMT		5 points
	I actually think Chiang Kai-shek was an interesting addition. Drove home the fact that just because Mao was a dictator didn't mean his opponents weren't autocrats too.

	Suddenly the history project on dictators dosn't seem like a waste of time!
