Now Hitler was probably also nuts? Do we allow for insanity?
I'm not trying to say it wasn't his fault, but the question is: Isn't a sane person who does evil worse than an insane one who does evil? Or, can amoral behavior to that degree only carried out by an insane person? A sociopath for example?

1. Hitler
2. Osama Bin Ladin
3. Liam Gallagher, the lead singer of Oasis
4. Saddam Hussein
5. Fidel Castro

its interesting to note that people including me are picking people who have blood on there hands rather than people who have set evil things in motion.

Well now, masterminds are important also. Not to troll, but I sincerely think Dick Chaney is evil. I think he has repeated disregarded the laws of this country, ignored horrible conflicts of interest between his duty and his wallet, violated the public trust, and abused his position of power to profit financially via Halliburton. I think he was probably THE driving force behind the Iraq war which has successfully cost us 100s of billions of dollars, American lives and has weakened us militarily and hurt our standing in world. Don't even get me started on Guitmo and the torture stuff.
And I doubt he loses a second of sleep each night. Was he the most evil person ever? No. But he fits the bill of evil mastermind.
I think Stalin would have to go up there. The death toll under his regime was incredible.
Its another point of thinking to --- though maybe I'm just restating what I said earlier --- but why did they kill? I don't regard Saddam Hussein or Fidel Castro as evil. They wanted to amass power, but I don't think they killed or oppressed for pleasure necessarily. I guess the same argument could be made for Stalin, but his numbers were so high, I'd look beyond that.

exactly. Yet we make Hitler out to be a far worse figure.
There is nuance to this. We look at Hitler as worse because it was more personal. He targeted a specific group (though he also killed the handicapped and homosexual). Stalin killed and repressed his own people.
I live in DC and at the spy museum that have either the original or a recreation of this secret door that went from one of Stalin's higher ups to this execution chamber in the bottom of this government building.
Dude was sick. And his famous quote, "One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic."
That is some cold shit.

Osama bin laden? not sure he is evil, he is fighting for his own cause. I don't agree but don't see him as evil.
Hitler was mad, Stalin a power crazed fool.
The person who decided that the word "lisp" should gave an S....he's pure evil
