You sure he wasn't talking about Chile's Pinochet? At least that one led a military junta, and was somewhat to the right of center.
DOH!
Yes. Chile. The guy was Chilean. I often confuse those two countries. Never been further south of the US border than Baja (Ensenada), TJ and speak about ten words of Espaniel.
Yeah, Pinochet.
Like I said, I wasn’t paying much attention to politics at the time, I was working on a double major at UC inSane Diego.
Thank You.
