Top 10 crooks

1. Ratko Mladic.

Well known for his feats in Bosnia-Herzegovina, we think this person most fully represents the foul and twisted sides humanity harbours in our times. This crook would not have to be embarrased flanking Adolf Hitler, Josip Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong or other ruthless, cold-blooded mass murderers.

2. Mu'ammar Khadafi.

Hailing from a different archetype of inhumans, Khadafi represents the 'dictator gone mad' to the fullest extent. This modern-day Mobutu is clearly completely off his rocker and highly dangerous.

3. Benjamin Netanyahu.

Illustrating one of the most extreme paradoxes of contemporary inhumanity, this person was chosen to represent the state of Israel. Chosen among the peoples of the earth to be subjected to great unjustice and suffering, a democratic majority in this country today shows they've learned quite little from these experiences. Or is that 'quite a lot'?

4. Lloyd Blankfein

Lloyd Blankfein leads a company that sold it's customers expensive products that they knew would fail. They followed this up by making money off this knowledge and thus off their customers. Oh, they also help countries hide their deficits. Thank you, Lloyd Blankfiend.

5. Mahmood Ahmadinejad

It was hard to distinguish either the 'cold-blooded murderer' or the 'hallucinating fruit' blend of tyrant in Ahmadinejad. But thanks to his outrageous religious fanaticism, he eventually made so much friends in group number 2 that we couldn't bring ourselves to put him anywhere else.

6. Zahi Hawass

The man may not be a murderer. But he's trying hard to make it into the top even without that questionable title. An embarrassment of monumental stature, we hope he'll fade quickly from Egypt's legacy.

7. Ramzan Kadyrov

"The Tchetchen Stalin" as he was called by the journalist he had assassinated later on, Ramzan is not even popular in Moscou. That's a feat for any crook.

8. Jacob Zuma

As president of the most developed nation in Sub-Sahara Africa, this man chose to lead by example. Bad example, that is. Reducing AIDS to something to be showered off, openly stating he would beat up homosexuals and claiming to be God's stand-in for South-Africa until the second coming he is a shining example of how not to run a country.

9. Kim-Jong-Il

Starving your own people into obedience while maintaining a nuclear threat constantly embarassing 4 of the most powerful countries in the world? About as inhuman as they get.

10. Bashar al-Assad

Our last inhuman seems to be suffering from an inferiority complex towards his father. Probably due to the fact that he was only heir by default, it inspired a failed nuclear programme, failed economic reforms, failed international haggling, the slavish following of Iran and now the failure to suppress a popular revolt.
