I think Roden needs Gigi as a leader to the Slayers, to take over after Buffy (The queen is dead, long live the queen) - and since *he* controls Gigi, that way he gets himself an army of superpowered beings (like what Maggie Walsh was aiming for in S4), and can thus take over the world. Yes abducting the world's leaders could be done, but having a superior force is far better - especially one as malleable and endlessly usable as a Slayer army.
Obviously Roden has never taught in school or worked with teenagers if he thinks he can control them! :)
But, seriously, he hardly controls Gigi - he had to create a whole system of lies to make her want to kill Buffy.
Can I point out that roughly once every year, that was *exactly* what would happen? Beginning with 'The Harvest'...
I think it was more about destroying the world, not ruling it.
