I am surprised at the FR venom for Pinochet. He offed a stinking Stalinist and saved Chile (and possibly the rest of S. America) from another social and political experiment that would have produced mountains of corpses. Maybe 3,000 people (mostly Commies) died at the hands of Pinchet. Conservatively, 15,000 died as a result of Castro's firing squads and prisons, but the MSM saves its bile to meet out to the Pinochet regime. Castro gets a pass and is even lauded.

Yes. And Venezuela is unfortunate not to have another Pinochet right now. It's the only way to deal with a Hugo Chavez -- and his ilk.

3,000 dead in 20 years? 3,000 is a slow day for a Marxist regime.
