Pinochet DEAD
Looks as if Pinochet of Chile is DEAD, following a heart attack he suffered last week.

He's wishing someone would bring him a glass of ice water right about now.

Y'all are being kind of harsh - what's the beef with Pinochet?

Some 3,000 killed and 28,000 tortured.

My God frowns on that.

[Even if you had the foresight (or dumbluck in Pinochet's case) to turn economic policy over to free market technocrats, you don't get a Get Out of Hell Free card.]

Interesting. So you blame one man for all of that? He didn't ask to be dictator, you realize that right? And he also wasn't an absolute dictator.
