for a moment I thought Freerepublic had gone DU! Nightmare.
Hello??? Pinochet is a hero! In every sense of the word.
Lots of ignorance about Chile here folks.
Bump that.
When I happened upon this thread, I was expected to find some good wishes and prayers for the General. Instead, I found nothing but sludge and hate that was more to be expected for mass-murderers like Castro and psychotic dictators like Chavez. Truly disgusting.
I don't know anything about Pinochet.
Is he getting the same treatment Diem and Franco get?
Both were flawed men, and I don't think I would be particularly happy living under either, but I do know that they are vilified beyond justification by the MSM. Is the same true for Pinochet.
