==Criteria==
In common use, "dictator" means "a leader I don't like." But for a list like this we need less subjective criteria. Robespierre was just one of twelve people on the Committee of Public Safety, so I don't see a basis to include him. Egypt and many other countries have a tradition of army involvement in politics. Sadat and Mubarak were dictators only if you take multi-party democracy as the norm. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] 21:27, 14 January 2014 (EST)
