The Most Evil Men in History?

I'll shoot the messenger... and his mother!! (add me to the poll, man!)

The U.S. opposed an expansion of Vietnamese influence in Indochina, and in the mid-1980s supported insurgents opposed to the regime of Heng Samrin, approving $5 million in aid to the KPNLF of former prime minister Son Sann and the pro-Sihanouk ANS in 1985. Despite this, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge remained the best-trained and most capable of the three insurgent groups, who despite sharply divergent ideologies had formed the Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea (CGDK) alliance three years earlier. China continued to funnel extensive military aid to the Khmer Rouge, and critics of U.S. foreign policy claimed that the U.S. was indirectly sponsoring the Khmer Rouge due to its diplomatic recognition of the CGDK.

yeah pol pot was a real fucker

Pol Pot officially resigned in 1985, but continued as de facto Khmer Rouge leader and dominant force within the anti-Heng alliance. Opponents of the Khmer Rouge claimed that they were sometimes acting in an inhumane manner in territory controlled by the alliance.

In 1989, Vietnam withdrew from Cambodia. Pol Pot refused to cooperate with the peace process, and kept fighting the new coalition government. The Khmer Rouge kept the government forces at bay until 1996, when the demoralized troops started deserting. Several important Khmer Rouge leaders also defected.

Pol Pot ordered the execution of his life-long right-hand man Son Sen and eleven members of his family on June 10, 1997 for wanting to make a settlement with the government (the news did not reach outside of Cambodia for three days). Pol Pot then fled his northern stronghold, but was later arrested by Khmer Rouge military Chief Ta Mok, and sentenced to lifelong house arrest. In April 1998, Ta Mok fled into the forest taking Pol Pot following a new government attack. A few days later, on April 15, 1998, Pol Pot died, reportedly of a heart attack. His body was burned in the Cambodian countryside, with several dozen Khmer Rouge in attendance. According to them, while his body burned, his right hand was raised high in a fist.

The Killing Fields were a number of sites in Cambodia where victims of large-scale genocide were murdered and buried by the Khmer Rouge (which means "Red Cambodian people"; rouge is French for red, and "red" denotes a "Communist"), a fanatical Maoist regime, during their rule from 1975 to 1979, which followed hard-after the disastrous pull-out by the U.S. military in 1973, which had conceded defeat to the Communist North Vietnamese, after the Vietnam War. The last U.S. military flight out of Vietnam was in 1975, during the collapse of Saigon (which represented the fall of the South Vietnamese nationalist, anti-Communist government, the Republic of Vietnam). Estimates of the number of dead range from 1 million, to as high as 3.3 million, out of a native population of nearly 8 million people. During the height of the genocide, not a single news story about the massacres reached the war-exhausted American public. The international news black-out of the genocide allowed the massacres to proceed unabated.

The exact number of people who died as a result of the Khmer Rouge's policies is debated. The Vietnamese-installed regime that succeeded the Khmer Rouge claimed that 3.3 million had died. The CIA estimated that between 50,000 and 100,000 people were executed by the Khmer Rouge, but executions represented only a minority of the death toll, which mostly came from starvation. A more accurate estimate of those killed in "The Killing Fields" is closer to 1 million executed by the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot.

Harold Shipman: Dr Harold Frederick Shipman, known as Fred Shipman to his family (January 14, 1946 â?? January 13, 2004) was a British general practitioner who was the most prolific known serial killer in British history (and possibly the world).

He killed around 250 patients from the 1970s to 1998, in Hyde, mainly elderly women who lived alone and were otherwise in good health. He was eventually caught after he ineptly forged a new will for one of his victims. He was convicted on 15 sample charges in 2000 and sentenced to life imprisonment. He committed suicide in 2004 at HMP Wakefield, without admitting or explaining his crimes.

Pol Pot has a good name.. but is a bastard!

Adolf Hitler[?] (April 20, 1889 â?? April 30, 1945) was Chancellor of Germany from 1933 and Führer und Reichskanzler (Leader and Chancellor) of Germany from 1934 to his death. He was leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP), better known as the Nazi Party.

Under Hitler's leadership Germany emerged from the depths of post World War I defeat to rebuild its economy and decimated military. At the height of their power during World War II, the armies of Nazi Germany and its Axis Powers dominated much of Europe. The racial policies that Hitler directed culminated in a massive number of deaths, commonly cited as at least 11 million people â?? including 6 million Jews â?? in a genocide now known as the Holocaust.

Ultimately, Germany was defeated by the Allied powers in 1945 and during the final days of the war Hitler committed suicide in his underground bunker in Berlin together with his newly wed wife, Eva Braun, and other high-ranking Nazi officials. The Third Reich, which he had said would last a thousand years, collapsed shortly thereafter.
