Would Buddha have made a good dictator?

I started thinking of this as I was reading through Saii's last closed poll. Someone started up with a "It-would-be-better-to-have-a-dictator-than-no-rule-at-all" thing and it got me to thinking... "There may be all those racist and unrighteous leaders out there that don't believe in anything but kicking others around to make themselves feel important, but what would happen if we actually got someone that cared for the rights and happiness of people, and would only serve to teach them to better themselves?"
Then I started thinking of peaceful people of the past, like Jesus and Gandhi and Buddha; you know, all those really cool people that wanted everyone to love eachother, and wouldn't necessarily resort to violence if they had a choice (and they always chose not to... sadface as to why they're not alive [AND YES THEY WOULD HAVE LIVED FOR 10,000 YEARS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL COOL <_<!] )
But yeah. Do you think it would be right to have someone pure of heart be a dictator (peacefully ftw)?
