1 dead innocent is better than 3,000 dead innocents. 3000 dead innocents is better than 3,000,000 dead innocents.
How many innocents did Pinochet kill?
The key word is innocents.
Pinochet was not a saint.
"Pinochet was not a saint."
That, we can agree. My main point only goes a bit further: "Pinochet was not a hero."
He did some evil things, and while he may be congratulated as the man who saved Chile from Allende and communism, you can't congratulate him for all the things he did afterwards.
