September 11, 1973 is one of those days that I remember where I was and what I was doing due to a major news event. I was backing my 1965 Chevy Impala out of a parking lot at the University of Southern California when I heard on the radio that Pinochet had overthrown Salvador Allende. I was overjoyed and saw the event as a major turning point in the Cold War.
And it was the leftist world court who persecuted elderly Pinochet. The same world court that would love to parade US soldiers and politicians before it.
