George W. Bush. He sent our country to war when over 55% of the American public was against it. He invaded Iraq because of his father's unresolved vendetta with Saddam Hussein. He approved a bill that allows more pollution so his oil companies can prosper. Sounds to me like he is in office for himself, not the people, thats pretty selfish.

King Louis the 16th of France. He lived in godlike opulance while his subjects died of starvation in the streets (led to the French Revolution).

The Romans also had some doozies, like Calligula and Nero... a cursory search on them should be all you need!

Bush - for more reasons than I have space to write here. Just pretty much ever single thing he has done has been for selfish reasons. And Cheney too, they are just assholes who need to be culled from humanity.

Benedict Arnold- he betrayed his country for his own personal benefit

Hitler- he decided to kill all the jews to create HIS ideal society

King Louie VIII- he married six wifes, and either killed or divorced them all, just because they wouldn't give him a son that HE wanted.

Hope this helps!

Hitler because he wanted to kill all Jewish people. Herod because he wanted children killed.
