Yes, and all that good jazz won't follow up to the top. Most likely, Hitler, Mussolini, Pinochet, Kim Il Sung, Stalin all thinks they do the best, good things, high morale, such leadership, so praised.
But they are entailed with ass-kissers, band-wagon jumpers, sudden sympathizers, all for the worst.
Moreover, it has always been proven: one guy dictatorship is flawed. There is no way the mind and the capability of one person can handle so many things. Chavez can't handle economy, Stalin can't handle dissenting opinions, Kim Jong Il can't handle agriculture, Hitler can't handle war, Mussolini can't handle his own people, they all made worse by those ass-kissing advisers and wannabes who keep reinforcing their mistakes. "Oh yeah Mr. Hugo, you are right! This must be the works of US of A, keep doing this!" The louder you spout the bullshit, the more likely you become the successor/next ruler. While the cause is still popular, amass personal wealth and bury it "under the table" and then retire with dignity still intact.
If you want to be real good and sincere, I suggest look at José Mujica, the current President of Uruguay. At least, to me, he still looked like a good leader.
Oh yeah, while we are in Turkish topic. I think Mustafa Kemal Attaturk would qualify as "dictator," just like our founding father Soekarno was. He did it with "iron fist" to reshape the generally traditional and collectivist society into modern ones. His method was "Guided Democracy," kind of stuff that Singapore employed throughout the 20th century, with that "Minister Mentor" position in the cabinet. It is the kind of Asian conservatism, we want to preserve the proven way to success. But the system is now slowly fading.
