a raving lunatic who believes his word is omnipotent.
Let me add that he is articulate and has quite a lot of knowledge on global issues. Sure understands Chinese history. An old power revived.

| 3. Lee Kuan Yew -- closest the world has come to a benevolent dictator |
|
If you can imagine the most rational, economically scientific, but authoritarian leader in the world, that's him.
He turned an impoverished port into one of the world's most affluent city-states.
Bizarre, fascinating national and personal story.

Of course he did benefit from Singapore being an intransit stop during the Vietnam War. He does fascinate because he is so knowledgeable.
