Dictator Down

Now that Gadhafi has bought the bullet, the only bad boy left out there is the North Korean Dictator, Kim Jong-il.  And Kim desperately wants to play nice.... talking about his desire to remove nukes from the Korean penninsula and stuff.

Why would anybody want to be a dictator anyway?  It always seems to go bad for them in the end.

Has there ever been a case wherea guy gets tons of power like Gadhafi had ,but ended up where everybody loved him. and mourned his passing?  Can't think of anyone.
