It would be scary to think what would have happened with Germany had they not used a tremendous amount of resources on the holocaust, as well as a leader who didn't think "Hey, let's attack Russia; that always works out well!"

Just curious, that's all.

Warning: no current leaders or people alive today are qualified to be name here. The people you mention must be historical characters and more importantly must be dead.

He is my candidate: Adolf Hitler, the evilest man to have lived.

Judas Iscariot.

Runner-up: Benedict Arnold

Did you choose Judas because you hate Christianity?

Oh no, not at all. I figure if it was necessary, I'm sure Jesus would talk me out of it so that history would proceed.
