Pinochet saved his country from the Communists, fixed the economy, brought back democracy, and then voluntarily stepped down.
How many other dictators are going to step down voluntarily if Pinochet's successors, who owe their present power to him, break their word and prosecute him? This is unjust.

Are you suggesting that some dictators should be tolerated and even praised because they are right on the issues?
Or is it a reasonable position to condemn all dictators and dictatorships?
