Chile sentences 33 over Pinochet-era disappearances

1. The nazi scum of Chile idolized Pinochet for "saving the country from becoming another Cuba."

From the BBC article above:

Gen Pinochet came to power in a military coup in 1973, when he overthrew the socialist government of President Salvador Allende.

Outside Chile, he is remembered as a ruthless dictator whose military regime tortured and killed thousands of opponents and drove many into exile.

But inside Chile he still has a small but ardent group of right-wing supporters who regard him as a hero for "saving the country from becoming another Cuba".

That disgustingly stupid claim has been used to death by now, hasn't it? "Another Cuba" would be a country which doesn't torture people to death or throw them out of helicopters, or even burn them to death in crematoria, as did Pinochet's US-supported death machine.
