I just think Pinochet was a disturbingly rotten character all around, and it always disgusts me how his followers always make a big claim about him 'saving Chile'. It's the kind of thing that makes me sick to my stomach.
I think he was rotten too, to the core. As they used to say: Even Mussolini made the trains run on time - but I believe that's been disproved now!
If you have any links or references to the military stopping Pinochet rather than him fulfilling his promise, then I'd love to read it and put the record straight.
I like to know who I'm hating, and why! :-)
