The top 9 world leaders of 2012

Imran Khan is the top 3rd leader of the world after OBama.

1. Christine Lagarde


2. Barack Obama


3. Imran Khan


Imran Khan has made the jump from cricketer to activist-politician look seamless. Now the head of Pakistan's Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) party, Khan has become the face of the anti-drone movement in his home country. Though data on drone-related deaths is scarce, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism estimates drones — key tools of US military strategy in the region — have caused between 474 to 884 civilian deaths since 2004, including the killings of 176 children.


Khan refuses to stand for the continued use of drones in Pakistan, leading a high-profile march by over 1,000 people in October. He continues to speak out against the violence, and his anti-drone push is a central part of his campaign for president.

4. Hillary Clinton


5. Kim Jong Un


6. Aung San Suu Kyi


7. Mohamed Morsi


8. Hugo Chavez


9. Bashar al-Assad
