I'd say we're looking at "most evil and deranged" to be the winner.

Heinrich Himmler
Mao Zedong

Also, for some light-hearted relief and first round cannon fodder, Benito Mussolini.

Mao Zedong
Yakubu Gowon
Kim Il Sung
Pol Pot
Hideki Tojo
Gen. Augusto Pinochet

Vladimir Putin
Ivan the Terrible
Henry VIII

Feel we're missing a few big names here. How's about:

Idi Amin

Marshal Tito
Leopold II
Enver Pasha
"Papa Doc" Duvalier
Ferdinand Marcos

Mao's on the list twice - I hadn't realised Marcuss had already nominated him.

I've nominated Himmler on the basis that he was head of the SS and thus directly responsible for many of the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany during WWII. Himmler's influence was such that the rebels in the German Army wouldn't sanction the assasination of Hitler unless Himmler could be taken out as well.
