Evil-Off 2003

I've been trying to discern who is the most evil person in the world. While this may ultimately be unknowable, I've devised a World Cup style contest to settle this. Here are the entrants from the four regions:

---

East Asia/Oceana

Kim Jong Ill (President, N. Korea)

vs.

Rupert Murdoch (President, The News Corporation)

---

Europe/Middle East

Saddam Hussein (former President, Iraq)

vs.

Slobodan Milosevic (former President, Yugoslavia)

---

N. America/S. America

Augusto Pinochet Ugarte (former President, Chile)

vs.

Richard B. Cheney (Vice President, United States)

---

Africa

Laurent Gbagbo (President, Ivory Coast)

vs.

Umar Hasan Ahmad al-Bashir (President, Sudan)

---

Things to consider:

• Both past evildoings as well as the potential for future evildoing will be considered
  
  
• Acts of greed are more evil than acts of self-preservation
  
  
• The potential for failing to do good, and instead choosing evil will be considered
  
  
• Finally, if this were a real battle, what methods of evil would each combatant use?

I'll have regional matchup details forthcoming, followed by results
