Okay, feel free to accord Marxists "human rights" while they slaughter you. I'm speaking from experience. What about you?

He may have not been Hitler, but he was far from a freedom-loving pro-democracy president.

Unfortunately, for Chile, the choice wasn't between Reagan and Pinochet, it was between Allende (Castro) and Pinochet.

Would Chile have been better off under Castro? 17 years without democracy or 33 years and counting?

Hitler was against homosexuality too. Does this mean that opposing homosexuality is wrong?

Nicely done, thanks for those. I'm sure I'll have the opportunity to display them to some Lefties soon. As soon as they get this news, they'll be slamming Pinochet.

If it comes to wantonly executing homosexuals, yes. Good heavens, you're making it seem as if Pinochet was in the same class of anti-communist as Reagan was.

"weapons production"
? I guess only the US is allowed to produce weapons? By who's consent?

Pinochet didn't have the luxury of a stable, prosperous America that the great Reagan ruled. There was no American equivalent to Allende (although RFK and McGovern were in the same orbit).

There are many ways to stop people from slaughtering you, some of which include ways to do so by NOT slaughtering them when they're at your mercy. There are places called "prisons." There is a thing called "due process."

Compared to Castro, Ortega, Chavez, or AMLO, Pinochet was a good man and a better than average head of government.

Tell us, tyke, do you believe extremism in the pursuit of liberty is a vice? And which extremist is trashing whose constitution? Your last sentence makes no sense. Are you saying all of us right wing extremists elected a government that is trashing the constitution of a government that isn't even in office? What gibberish.

So are you suggesting that that clown Allende murdered 3,000 people per week?

He never got the chance to, Pinochet took him out, but he would have if given the chance.

And we can expect Castro, Chavez and Ortega to dismantle their "concentration camps" and turn them into museums as well. /sarcasm

Pinochet was no angel, but commies pull the wings off of angels just for the fun of it. Chile is still one of the brightest lights of freedom in South America, largely because of Pinochet taking out the commies before they wrecked another Latin American country's economy and enslaved their citizens.

You seem to have a difficult time understanding the concept that would should elevate ourselves above the behaviors of our enemies and not sink to them. If we show the same contempt for life as communist regimes have shown, then we might as well be communists. We'd be no different.

Luckily, we have always shown a higher regard for life, and human rights and general than our enemies have. My mother worked at Camp Carson (later Fort Carson) Army Base in WWII, where we held German POW's. Did we treat captive Germans and Japanese prisoners as they treated their captives? Of course not. Had we, we'd have been no better.

Maybe not, but maybe he could have at least emulated the Great Communicator and NOT have people disappear by killing them, but at least jailing them, hm? The tactics he employed were reprehensible under any circumstance.

That's nice and all...for stable countries such as the USA.

Again: nothing wrong with killing communists. Having been born in a communist regime and living under it, killing Marxists is defensive in nature and is a ok.

That's no excuse. You're creating double standards there.

I am honestly sorry to have to disagree with you, but I cannot share your view. I would point to the vile terrorists of today who are currently sawing the heads off of innocents and murder young children merely for being Christians.

There are some amongst us on this earth, who through their beliefs and actions, have removed themselves from the realm of humanity and deserve nothing more merciful than a quick painless end -if they even truly deserve that.

The Sixth Commandment says Thou Shall not Murder, not thou shall not kill... As a Christian and a member of the US Military, I take pleasure at the removal of these "people" from the earth, see their absence as a blessing, and tell you that free from even the slightest bit of remorse or guilt.

One cannot assume that conditions are uniform in all places on the globe.

You have apparently forgotten the Cold War.

The general was an ally...to us and his own people.

You are the troll.. a leftist troll.
