15 More of the World's Most Dangerous People, Selected by You

We've published our list of the 15 people most responsible for turning this world haywire. But 15 dangerous folks weren't nearly enough, you told us in your comments, your tweets and your Facebook mentions. So here's a second helping of dangerousness, all thanks to you.

No, your mother-in-law doesn't get on the list. Nor does Chuck Norris or the Sith. (We're trying to keep it relevant to 2012.) But we've picked out 15 of the best suggestions, with links to your comments and tweets.

• Kim Jong-un. The 29-year-old dictator managed to launch North Korea's first satellite into space. Plus, he's got those nukes, and a dastardly plan to invade America. On the list you go, and at the top.
• Ashfaq Kayani. Pakistan's army chief of staff and former director of its spy service isn't just one of that unstable country's most important leaders; he's emerged as one of the main go-to people in Pakistan as the U.S. pulls out of Afghanistan. Let's hope he doesn't make it too hard on us as we leave.
• Vladimir Putin. Since Russia's potentate returned to the presidency this year, he's brought with him ambitious plans to rebuild Moscow's military, launched a massive internet surveillance project, and arrested dissidents who aren't too excited about this never-ending presidency stuff.
• David Petraeus. He goes on the list, and we're talking about the whole man. While Paula Broadwell sent the e-hate that got ultimately led the FBI to their affair, the general made the choice to start screwing around. In other words, he's responsible for his own demise.
• Satoshi Nakamoto. The pseudonymous creator of the Bitcoin digital cryptocurrency has seemingly disappeared into the shadows, but his invention lives on with potential to disrupt the powers-that-be. What happens when crooks can move money effortlessly online, without ever being traced? We might soon find out.
• Ken Shamrock: 'Wait a minute. Why is Ken Shamrock not on the top of this list??' asked one of our commenters. If he wants to call himself the world's most dangerous man, that's cool. You won't see me arguing with him about it.
• Cosmo the God. The 15-year-old hacker isn't legally allowed to use the internet without supervision, since he was caught breaking into Amazon.com and taking down the websites for the CIA and NASDAQ, but it might not also stop him from hijacking your Twitter. In another sense, Cosmo has been revealed as the ultimate example of how online security ' for even the America's spy agency ' can still be brought down by a teenager.
• Ayman al-Zawahiri. The al-Qaeda chief has been dangerous for a long time, but hasn't been particularly dangerous in 2012. But it probably wouldn't hurt to keep an eye out for him. And with al-Qaeda moving into Libya and Syria, it's a wonder what Zawahiri has been doing behind the scenes.
• Zaheer ul-Islam. Pakistan's current spy chief since March 2012 is not only in charge of subterfuge in one of the most volatile regions of the world, but is in a position to determine what happens next to Afghanistan as U.S. troops withdraw.
• Ke$ha: Joshua Foust of the American Security Project was skeptical we didn't include the autotuned pop singer. Alright then, if you insist.
• Fethullah Gulen. Is this influential Turkish scholar a liberal reformer or an Islamic extremist? The answer is more complicated than that, but with his millions of followers and a network of more than 1,000 schools around the world, he's shown to be a force against the powers of Istanbul's military.
• James Carter IV. Had the grandson of former U.S. President Carter not discovered an obscure clip of Mitt Romney on YouTube, and hadn't tracked down the guy who filmed the complete video, Romney's '47 percent' comment may have never been heard. Call it dangerous if you want, but it sure is disruptive.
• Anonymous. While the hacker group flipped over the collective table in 2011, they've still remained a dangerous force, and even joined in during the Israel's strikes on Gaza.
• Unknown. One commenter made the observation that the most dangerous people in the world are 'not currently on anyone's radar. This is what makes them so dangerous.' Worth considering, no?
• Michael Bay. Because seriously.

Thanks again, everyone. Tune in next year for more danger.
