#1 Not mentioned is that Chile's advisors were disciples of Milton Freedman and the free trade policy was initiated by that "evil man" Pinochet.

#2 Chile also has a trade surplus about as large (% GDP) as the US has a trade defict. It was even larger in previous years.

#3 Yup, not a word about Allende and Pinochet. I wonder how Chile would be doing these days on the leftist road? About as well as the rest of that cesspool.

#4 Lots is not known of Pinochet. A fine man. He killed about 500 or so dissidents (communist terrorists), re-established a free democracy, and left that country far better off than how he got it.
