Saddam Hussein
4
Saddam was an intelligent innovate leader whose secular government brought Iraq into the 20th century. Like so many leaders, he was corrupted by power. However, he did not deserve to be overthrown (based on George W. Bush's lies), tried in a kangaroo court and hanged. He went to the gallows a brave man, proving himself a true leader. Yes, he did a few bad things along the way, but so do all world leaders. History will absolve him.
