PARADE magazine recently published the annual list of the
world’s most despised dictators and despots. But for as
bad as these scoundraes are, they are wimps compared to
some of the mean, nasty, and brutish leaders who roamed
the Earth in Washington’s time. GW makes the following
observation about such tyrants:
“When a people shall have become incapable of governing themselves, and fit for a master, it is of little consequence from
what quarter he comes.”
