I imagine some of the posters mistook Pinochet for someone else. Guevera perhaps? Chavez? It's always amazing the number of people who know zilch nada about historical events/people...
How else can I explain the utter nonsense posted by some.
I wish that were the case. I find it sickening there are Allende apologists on FR coming out of the woodwork. To see the word "atrocities" associated with Pinochet is to remove the shock of that word. It's like elevating someone who has committed the equivalent of a jaywalking offense to mass genocide. I pray for these people's ignorance.
