What are the common threads linking these former rulers?
former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein
former Indonesian President Suharto
former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos
former Zairian President Mobutu Sese Seko
former Nigerian President Sani Abacha
former Yugoslav President Slobodan Miloević
former Haitian President Jean-Claude Duvalier
former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori
former Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko
former Nicaraguan President Arnoldo Alemán
former Philippine President Joseph Estrada
....a penchant for money, power or popularity?
What is it that made them a certain "type" of leader?
...and I frame this less around what it is that they in fact did, accomplished or attempted to do over the course of their respective "administrations", rather, what was their purpose, or raison d'etre as autocrats?
Stumble It!
