| So many problems. Absolute monarchs are not normally considered dictators. If they were, you would have to include most of the french monarchs, napoleon, the german emperors, quite a few japanese emperors, chinese emperors, etc. Botha was not a dictator - he was an elected official. You may decry the fact that he was elected by a system which disenfranchised many, but nonetheless, we was elected. Odd that you consider Kim jong il a more significant dictator than Kim il sung. Lenin and Stalin were dictators of the Soviet Union, not Russia. |
