I'd have to go with Kim Jong-Il, but Saddam and Mengistu are close runners-up.
Pinochet was a despot and not a good guy, but he didn't come close to the true genocidal horrors of dictators like the Kims, Saddam, and Omar El-Bashir. i'd say he's a little worse than Fidel.
Pahlavi was bad also, but not nearly even as bad as dictators from the 2nd tier of genocidal monsters like Milosevic or the Assads. He wasn't even as bad as some of the nastier Latin American dictators. I'd say he was about as bad as Islam Karimov or the Turkmenbashi (Shaparmurat Niyazov).
