And it was the leftist world court who persecuted elderly Pinochet. The same world court that would love to parade US soldiers and politicians before it.

Allende was elected. The left is back at it in Chile so the solution is not easy: A firm enforcement of existing laws as well as infiltration of the leftist organizations that would do harm to the public once in power. They just don’t give up that power once they’re voted out. Just ask Bolivia.

Thanks for the kind words, folks, and for the correction on my timeline error.

I crafted that paragraph a couple of different ways in my head (having a bit of trouble that night deciding on which examples to list), and in my final version, I mixed up the timelines between Mao’s China and Pol Pot’s killing fields. I meant to say that the Cultural Revolution was fresh in everyone’s mind, and the killing fields were about to occur...

I agree completely that it was a stupid and embarrassing error. As soon as I saw your notes here, I got my original column on Illinois Review corrected, but of course I can’t edit something once it’s up here on freerepublic.

Thanks for the catch, patriots!
