[Toddsterpatriot]

As somebody pointed out, Hitler was against communists too. Do you support Hitler, Toddsterpatriot? See how ridiculous this gets?

I see, Pinochet equals Hitler. Now who's being ridiculous?

Pinochet destroyed democracy in Chile

Chile doesn't have democracy?

He was a monster who didn't care a fig about his citizens' rights

Is that why he voluntarily relinquished power? On your monster scale, how does he compare to Castro?

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

LOL...I was respoding to your argument about support for Stalin, Mao, etc. Using your logic, I don't see how my arguemnt doesn't make sense. If it doesn't, neither does yours. Ad, that's the point I was trying to make.

Are you claiming that Pinochet was the father of democracy in Chile? Chile has a democracy now but its restoration was not as a result of Pinochet's desire or policies.

Voluntarily relinquished power? How long was he a dictator for? If he was such a democrat as you claim, why didn't he get out sooner and stand for elections as a candidate? That way, nobody would have acused him of being a murderous megalomaniac.
