#1 Bah. I don't feel much sympathy for him. He did authorize alot of dirty actions. He was a bastard in the humanrights/cold war sense. I think he used excessive force in breaking the back of the University and international leftist movement in Chile.

OTOH, he was "our bastard", and did off that Castro wannabe Allende, and prevent the enslavement of Chile by the Commies. Which counts for even more. Compare/contrast Chile with Vietnam, cuba or Norkland.

The fact that he beat the Internationalist commies at their own game, and made it stick is just gravy.

On the whole, a "good" guy, but one of the ones that dosen't sit well with me. A pity that the left cannot admit they were beaten, and have to hound him to death.
