Also Fernando Romeo Lucas García. He was probably the worst dictator in the Western Hemisphere in the 20th century, yet virtually no one knows who he was.

I imagine a number of Guatemala's military rulers would end up here. I haven't heard of Ríos Montt until he was actually put on trial. But special "award" should go to early ones.

I'm still waiting for a specific example. Mao's order to kill the sparrows was not borne from malice.

Yet it was extremely stupid and contributed to a large number of people dying from hunger. Evil results should count at least as much as evil intentions.

I suppose we can absolve Stalin from murderous slave labor, because his desire for industrialization was "not coming from malice per se"?
