Pinochet made it so that Chile IS a free society today. To compare him to the 2nd greatest (political) mass-murderer in history demonstrates your profound failure to grasp reality, sir.

Chile is a free society today in spite of Pinochet, not because of him. He ruled as an autocrat for 17 years, are you suggesting that the threat of a commie takeover lasted all those years? His loss in the plebiscite was a rejection of his heavy-handed rule.
