Kasey Kasem notes that the election of Bill Clinton is at #31 and rising fast(I'd use top 40 lingo and say "with a bullet", but I don't want a visit from the secret service or any of the couple of hundred Million Moms).

Meanwhile, a major reason that Russia and China stand so prominently at the top of the list is that they have so many potential victims to begin with. I think there's a flaw with his reasoning here. He seems to think that a country with a population of 10 that kills 5 of its own is worse than a country of 100 that kills 49 of its own. Just because there are more victims is irrelevant; it's body count that matters, and the Commies win out, hands down.

I see a pattern in the last chart. I count 8 of the 25 as African, 6 of the 25 as Eastern European(7 if you count Germany), 3 Middle Eastern, 3 Asian. But if you draw a belt from Germany to Vietnam, you get 12 of the 25. So seems to me that Africa and this Eurasian belt(don't forget China and Russia get up there in raw numbers), account for the vast majority of these atrocities. Or in other words, places less impacted from Judeo-Christian influences.
But I guess that's not the answer I'm supposed to come up with.

You beat me to it, I felt the re-election should be at least number 2.
