Thank Goodness We Have Parade.
Without Parade magazine, the world’s worst dictator would go unnoticed.
Kim Jong-il of North Korea has been designated the World’s Worst Dictator in PARADE Magazine’s 6th annual listing by Contributing Editor David Wallechinsky. Kim beat out Omar Al-Bashir of Sudan, who held the No. 1 position for three years in a row, from 2005 to 2007. Kim was No. 1 in 2003 and 2004.
