Thanks for providing the names, you should also include Indonesian tobacco companies leaders, in Indonesia tobacco business is lucrative, with tens of millions of prospect consumers and almost unlimited freedom in advertising, even on public tv ad broadcast. For tobacco related deaths, I have known many in my life who got sick and died due to tobacco addiction or being in heavy smokers environment, including my own old man who was heavy smokers, that led him to stroke, lung damage, complications that leads to heart failure ( been sick since he was in his 50's ) I also known some who have succumbed to drug addiction, one of them died when we were in high school due to OD, it's painful to see someone struggle and failed to break free from addiction, and you can't do much about it, and when they fall ( sick and died )
My younger brother also got addicted to tobacco when he was in late teens ( bad friends ), and he never got free till today, slowly watching him harming his body, wasting money only to be burned away to smoke. It's scary, the mindset of addicted man, they know full well the risk but they are still doing it, like being chained.
Ask one self, would a well intent man make and sell tobacco to others knowing how addicting and harmful it can be to one's health and others who inhaled the smoke ?
In my opinion, we can blame the smokers for their own choice, but sometimes it started from peer pressure, and one time is usually all it takes .... but the worst person in my view would be the tobacco provider/company owners. Remember when it started, someone saw opportunity to sell tobacco and make it a big business, GREED for money at the expense of others suffering, pain and death, just as bad as bad people who kill for money.

The Pope.
The current one seems slightly more open to reform, but as the leader of the Catholic Church, he's still accountable for all the crap that still goes on within it.

I'm tempted to try to pick a category:
Physical Awfulness (murder, torture, etc.)
Political Awfulness (attempt to subvert human rights, perhaps some are highly concerned with pollution?)
Religious Awfulness (death-by-belief)
I'd like to pick one of those categories but we have a nexus on all of those categories in the middle East, and possibly North Korea. Russia usually lacks the final category. The pope is missing at least the first one. The problem in the Middle East is that I don't follow the situation well enough to know the names of all of the major players at any given time. Who's in charge of Hamas right now? Or the Palestinian movement in general? I'm sure there's someone out there screaming death to the Jews, infidels, and anyone who wants women to be able to bare their ankles or walk in front of a man. That guys is the worst person on the planet right now (the one who leads that charge anyway). Kim Jong Un is way up there, maybe he'll take the crown at some point.

Yup, that guy seems like a great candidate. I knew there'd be someone filling that role. The middle east never seems to run out of energy for being horrible.

Well, I'm not sure if Galileo Galilei would agree with that description. The church was in many cases more of an oppressor than a catalyst. But let's say that we give the church credit for the development of Western civilization, and by extension the progress made in arts and sciences, wouldn't we also have to consider all the bad things that the western civilization is responsible for, and give the church credit for that as well? I mean, if we give the church credit for Newton's theory of gravity, wouldn't we also have to give the church credit for Hitler?

We are all so in awe of your wit and your courage. Now, could you provide a bit of the reasoning behind your answer?

What specific actions did he take (or not take), and which specific Middle East events do you attribute to those (in)actions?

I'd like to nominate my roommate who burns this really strong herbal something or another that makes me want to stop breathing.
On a serious note, Kim Jong un is who I would pick at the current moment because he appears to be set to start world war 3 with whatever nuclear technology North Korea has. We really don't need another world war, especially just because some dictator is unhappy with how his country is being treated, which is his own fault in the first place.

To be a bit fair, the dangers of smoking are well known here in the US as well, it is just that the tobacco industry isn't as regulated in the US as it is in the UK or Europe. At best, we get a $1.01 per pack federal tax, as well as any additional taxes the state and local authorities would want to charge. (According to the latest data, Jan. 1, 2014, New York state charges the highest state tax at $4.35 a pack and Missouri charges the lowest at $0.17 a pack. To put the two extremes into perspective, Iowa(25th) charges $1.36 a pack and my state of Texas(24th) charges $1.41 a pack.)
While I can't find any statistical data to prove it, while less and less people do smoke, high taxes in combination of city wide smoking bans in bars and restaurants does help curb the smoking rate.

There's a risk for Famous Last Words here, but I don't think he's interested in nuking anyone. He wants to protect himself and his country, and nuclear weapons are going to make anyone think twice before they invade.

He won the Nobel peace prize... surely that was for a reason... I don't know what it was but it must have been.
Surely you meant George W. Bush.
