Probably for the same reason some here will opine that America needs a Pinochet type of dictator. Or that the Generals should take over. It’s a childish way of thinking.
In the case of Pinochet, he was asked to do so by the House of Deputies and the courts while Allende was doing his power grab and bringing in enforcers from Cuba and East Germany. It was also found that Allende was on Brezhnev’s payroll. Pinochet was reluctant at first and they had to plead him to take action. Chile was just a few steps shy of becoming a Soviet satellite when Pinochet finally acted. History lesson.
