So how many people do you need to get killed before you can be a murderous villain? You are actually underlining the point with your apologia for a dictator. It also would be nice if US presidents also took the consequences of their crimes. But your whataboutism is not really an argument for anything here.

Probably most world leaders are "murderous villains" in some way or another. It sucks, but much better than universal anarchy and civil war
Why is it a choice between allowing leaders to almost never be punished or complete anarchy
No apologia intended. I would call assad, putin a murderous villain. I would say Gaddafi murdered a few people.
