Ariel Sharon - Israel

In the Jordanian village of Qibya, a total of 69 civilians were murdered in a six hour killing spree, which almost totally destroyed the town. The attackers blew up about forty houses, a school, water pumping station, police station and telephone office and they sustained no casualties, as Qibya was virtually undefended. This extermination unit was led by Ariel Sharon and the date was October 14, 1953.

Of the first 42 bodies recovered after the attack, 38 were women and children. One man lost all 11 members of his family. Describing the scene, a UN observer stated that 'Bullet-riddled bodies near the doorways and multiple bullet hits on the doors of the demolished houses indicated that the inhabitants had been forced to remain inside until their homes were blown up over them.'

In 1982, between 800 and 3,000 civilians were killed in the Southern Lebanon refugee camps of Sabra and Shatilla. The Israeli commission investigating the massacre found 'that the Minister of Defense [Sharon] bears personal responsibility' for the massacre and recommended that he be fired if he didn't resign. He refused and was removed as Defense Minister.

Today, under Sharon's leadership, most Palestinians are destitute, caged in shrinking enclaves, surrounded by Israeli tanks and highly vulnerable to attack. Today, thanks to Sharon's savage ways and closure policies, horrific acts of terrorism is committed against Israeli civilians. He remains a faithful and grateful friend of the United States.

Aleksander Kwasniewski  - Poland

Kwasniewski joined the Communist party at 23, and was an organizer of the Socialist Union of Polish Students during the late 1970s. He was the editor of ITD (1981–84) and of Sztandar Mlodych (1984–85), both youth-oriented party newspapers, where he earned a reputation as a propagandist.

When martial law was declared (1981) and many left the party, he remained and served (1985–89) as the government's minister of youth and sports. After the collapse of the Communist party in 1991, Kwasniewski, whom some have called an opportunist, was a founder of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), a social democratic party.

In 1995 he was elected president, narrowly defeating Lech Walesa; he was reelected in 2000. Confirming his label as an opportunist, he committed Polish troops to the war in Iraq. He was repayed for his subservience by a state visit from President Bush.

José Maria Aznar Lopez  - Spain

A conservative politician, he became Spain's Prime Minister in 1996. In 2002 he was lambasted for forcing a stricken oil tanker, 'The Prestige', out to sea rather than bringing it into calm waters to pump the oil out. This resulted in the tanker sinking six days later, spilling an estimated 17 million gallons (64 million liters) of oil.

The oil oozed south to Portugal and stained beaches along Spain's northern coast and the southwest of France. Fishing was banned, forcing thousands of people to live off handouts for months. For weeks volunteers scooped up globs of oil by hand and shovel, often wading waist-deep into the sludge. Estimates put the total clean-up and fishing sector losses at US$9.2 billion over a decade.

In 2003, he faced 91% opposition from the populace for his collaboration with the US in the war in Iraq. Spain's Supreme Court and a Bilbao Court also started an investigation of a complaint filed by the Spanish Basque party, accusing Aznar of war crimes for his complicity in the war. 

On 11 March 2004 Spain reaped the "benefits" from the Iraq debacle, when Al-queda bombs in Madrid killed almost 200 Spanish commuters. As with Israel, the country's leadership has brought terror to the doorstep of innocent civilians. Initially the Spanish government conveniently blamed the Basque Seperatists, but the more ominous facts soon came to light. Three days later Aznar was voted out by the populace. The new prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, stated: "The war in Iraq was a disaster, the occupation of Iraq is a disaster," and pledged to take Spanish troops out of Iraq. Aznar has now applied for his 'Green Card'.

Tony Charles Lynton Blair  - United Kingdom

And of course there's Tony. Poor old Tony, still looking for those elusive weapons of mass destruction with that hurt puppy look on his face. His involvement in the Iraq War has left a promising career floundering amidst a sea of anti-war resentment.

He remains as probably the only leader who GENUINELY believed that there were WMD in Iraq, and he manages to exude an air of determined bafflement when describing his belief that the WMD will still be found, even if he doesn't really know where. He has managed to keep Britain out of the current mania of terrorist attacks and for that he should be commended. But the British public most certainly won't forgive him for his gullibility, which makes his chances of a re-election victory slim.

He is a good example of when nasty things happen to nice people.
