How many dictators are still in power?

[_Jumper_]

I have heard the number is 120. Can anyone verify this?

1. "Being a dictator...

would be easier"George W Bush 3 or 4 different times he has said it-I personally heard him say it once on TV.It's weird all the things Bush said about Hussein today could just as easily be said about HIM

5. Isn't that the truth.

I couldn't believe my ears. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

4. there are 192 or so countries in the world...

120 dictatorships would leave about 68 countries ruled by something else. In otherwords nearly 2 of every 3 countries is a dictatorship.

Maybe that's correct but it seems high to me.

At any rate let's not add to the number in North America...
