Amazing.

My comment on Fujimori certainly applies here.

What a small world! 911 launched an American assault on Moslem terror socialism but years before that on the very same date Pinochet lauched at attack on home grown socialism. After seeing the kind of scum that supported Clinton and still does to this day you almost wish we had a Pinochet happen here!

A lot of this gushing over Allende is being promoted by European Marxists, who poured their resources into their ultimately unsuccessful attempt to drag Pinochet into court, despite the objections of the Chilean government and people.

This is all part of their on-going plan to extend Marxism throughout Latin America: they've already gotten Marxist leaders into some of the more dysfunctional countries (Venezuela and Brazil) and they're now trying to find ways to undermind the few Latin American countries that actually work, Chile being an outstanding example of this.

The truth:

Salvatore Allende was a rabid supporter of genocide who committed suicide out of sheer cowardice rather than face up to his crimes like a man.

Augusto Pinochet is a man who decided not to stand idly by while a maniac tried to destroy his country. Due to his efforts, Chile is now strong, free and prosperous. He is the definition of a Christian patriot.
