He had his supporters (including the CIA), but most Chileans won't be shedding tears for one of Latin America's most repressive leaders. Unrepentant to the end, he served no prison time for his crimes:

Full Version: Good riddance to Chilean dictator
I happened to go by the office that contains the Chilean consulate in Toronto (at Yonge/Bloor) this evening, and there was a small crowd of Chileans with flags and signs expressing their disdain for Pinochet. Many more were there yesterday.
QUOTE
Last night, about 150 of them assembled in front of the building that houses Chile's consulate at Yonge and Bloor Sts. and danced, popped a bottle of champagne, and toasted Pinochet's demise. At least one woman wore a devil's outfit and carried the sign: "Welcome to my kingdom, Pinochet!"
I hope that bastard does a slow-roast in hell. That actually wouldn't be good enough for him. He nearly ruined that country. He will do his time now, for all of eternity. That's a really, really long time. Viva Chile!
We should not forget that in addition to all the horrific things he inflicted on his own countrymen, Pinoshit was responsible for one of the first acts of terrorisms on American soil. The 1976 car bombing at Sherman Circle here in DC that killed Chilean dissident Orlando Letelier and his American colleague Ronni Moffitt.
Pinochet was such a brutal dictator supported by Reagan and Thatcher. May he be sent to the Tibetan hells and there are twelve: 3 burning hells, 3 ice hells, 3 piercing hells and three crushing hells. If justice was not served on the earth then it will in the afterworld. I'm sure he's standing before YAMA Lord Of Death right now. Pinochet was a genocidal monster. Its hard not to hate him. I guess I should pray for his victims instead but it's hard not to hate him.

This quote was totally accurate. Thank you for sharing it. SHALOM TO YOU.

Don't forget two of Pinochet's earliest supporters, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, who is now advising George W on Iraq. We see the results. Gerald Ford also didn't have too much of a problem with the butcher-dictator. Jimmy Carter talked a lot about human rights, and as far as I know, whatever his other faults, he was no great fan or supporter of Pinoscum's. But then came Ronald Raygun and George HW Bush, who ran the CIA during the period that Pinoscum was in office. They loved him, because he was an ANTI-COMMUNIST and pro-FREE MARKET and you know, that's all that matters. A few thousand people dead? Hey, Chile doesn't have tariffs, wheeeee! They all have the blood of Chileans, Argentinians, Brazilians, Uruguayans, Paraguayans, etc. on their hand, because, don't forget, Pinoscum also coordinated and cooperated not only with the CIA in his butchery, but with his fellow South American dictators. Those of us old enough to remember have not forgotten how brutal Argentina's dictatorship was, or horrid old Alfredo Stroessner of Paraguay, or the succession of military dictators who ruled Brazil from the 1960s to 1986 or so, or Uruguay's dictatorship, and so on. A terrible, terrible time for human rights and humanity in general, and Pinoscum found a way to distinguish himself as one of the worst during it!
Wow, that Tibetan hell sure sounds awful...do you think GWB would qualify?

Fantomas is always 100 percent accurate. Just think that Kissinger is involved in the crimes against Iraq too. He is so old. Why isn't he in a nursing home or something. The bastard.

He certainly would. GWB and Cheney and Rice dont lose one wink of sleep over what they have done to Iraq. It is an inferno. It is a CIVIL WAR. All three of those monsters are sociopaths who were clearly born without a capacity for empathy or concern for others. Typical sociopathic monsters.

I'm a proud Ashkenazi liberal Jew. Have you noticed that if anyone whether Jew or gentile criticises Kissinger he calls them anti Semitic. Well this Yiddish boy hates Kissinger and it wouldn't matter if he were a Jew or a martian for that matter. Bastard.
