“Thanks; she came here as a kid, but is still very different than American girls. She was raised by old-school parents...”
Just like my g/f. The difference is immeasurable, x100 (yes, I know I typed that - just making a point).
General Franco, like General Pinochet, are heroes, period.
‘Their grandchildren may be assimilated, but they themselves never were and I don’t think the first generation raised here will be.”
I live that too. Yes!
“I hope my sons meet nice traditional girls, maybe Middle Eastern Christians or old-school Latinas.”
Excellent!!! God Bless!!!

Absolutely; when we were engaged in the Cold War, we supported military governments around the world that helped contain communism. Sadly, when the Cold War ended we abandoned many of those allies. I thought it was very classy of Thatcher to praise Pinochet as a worthy ally upon his death; he helped Britain during the Falklands War with pressure on the western border of Argentina (which is why so many of the troops sent to the Falklands were so young/inexperienced). On the other hand, we jailed men like Noriega who at one time were allies...
