Galtieri committed more that 2300 political executions ( typical leftist totalitarian authority figure, my way or else) made of 10,000 political arrests, and and is reposible the disappearance of 20,000 to 30,000 people. He was such a savy dictator, he caused inflation to run at 900%, I bet everyone was really dancing in the streets in those good ol' days...

Galtieri was an anticommunist hero. He was NOT A PERONIST! The Junta who governed Argentina were ALLIES OF THE UNITED STATES. They KILLED COMMUNISTS, something the Brits never had the balls to do in Rhodesia and Kenya.

I wish I could slap you across the head for calling the Argentine junta "leftists." THEY WERE ONE OF THREE COUNTRIES IN THE HEMISPHERE WHO ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING ABOUT THE COMMUNISTS!

The leftist governments that succeeded the Junta were a disgrace.

right, Rafael Videla did that. The Argentine Commission for Human Rights, in Geneva, charged the junta with 2,300 political murders, over 10,000 political arrests, and the disappearance of 20,000 to 30,000 people.

Videla was deposed by Field Marshal Roberto Viola, who in turn was succeeded by Lt. Gen. Leopoldo Galtieri, who then tried to invade the Falklands.

Er... We kicked the living crap out of the Mau Mau in Kenya (though you're right about Rhodesia)
