This list entails some of the worst genocides of the 21st century, some of which deaths amounted in the 78 millions (Mao Ze-Dong), 23 millions (Stalin), 12 millions (Hitler), to 800,000 (Jean Kambanda) of the Rwanda genocide. All are a cause of conflicts such as: religious, political, or cultural beliefs. These genocides are an estimated of number of people killed by the orders of the leader, but however, do not reflect the indirect number of gross deaths from such: hunger, civilians.
Let's see what signs these leaders were... (I only listed genocides # of >100,000 body count)
Mao Ze-Dong: Dec. 26 (CAPRICORN) Josef Stalin: Dec. 21 (SAGITTARIUS) Adolf Hitler: Apr. 20 (ARIES) Leopold II of Belgium: Apr. 9 (ARIES) Hideki Tojo: Dec. 30 (CAPRICORN) Ismail Enver: Nov. 22 (SAGITTARIUS) Pol Pot: May 19 (TAURUS) Kim Il Sung: April 15 (ARIES) Menghistu: May 21 (GEMINI) Yakubu Gowon: Oct. 19 (LIBRA) Leonid Brezhnev: Dec. 19 (SAGITTARIUS) Jean Kambanda: Oct. 19 (LIBRA) Suharto: Jun. 8 (GEMINI) Saddam Hussein: Apr. 28 (TAURUS) Tito: May 7 (TAURUS) Fumimaro Konoe: Oct. 12 (LIBRA) Jonas Savimbi: Aug. 3 (LEO) Idi Amin: Jan. 1 (CAPRICORN) Yahya Khan: Feb. 4 (AQUARIUS) Benito Mussolini: Jul. 29 (LEO) Mobutu Sese Seko: Oct. 14 (LIBRA) Charles Taylor: Jan. 28 (AQUARIUS) Foday Sankoh: Oct. 17 (LIBRA) Slobodan Milosevic: Aug. 20 (LEO) Jean-Bedel Bokassa: Feb. 22 (PISCES)
I'm really surprised that Libras came out on top most frequently. A sign that is supposed to be all about balance and justice being the most discriminant killers... eck. The contradiction.
Jokes aside, that is surprising though seeing as we don't believe in violence as a means to solve problems (but we may resort to it if we're forced to or to defend the weak). Not to say I don't like violence, I've always been a fan & trained in combat sports and martial arts, but it's the "sweet science" nature of combat that appeals to me rather than anything primal. I've always believed in diplomacy first.
It's weird that they're all 3rd decan Libras mainly from Africa.
Meh, we'll always have Gandhi, John Lennon, & Jimmy Carter.
P.S. You should do a list of famous serial killers. Like this list, it begs the debate upon nature vs nurture. I wonder if individuals responsible for genocide had similar brain patterns to serial killers, regardless of motive.
