Posted: Mon Dec 11, 2006 4:03 pmAfter reading this article it seems that the Chilean people are of two minds on how Pinochet actually ruled. Some say that he saved them from Communism, and others say he was a brutal and bloody dictator.
Hmm!!!!
Here is the article I read:

Why else would he have been a hero to that other bloody dictator, the Iron Lady herself.
There will of course be some among us already polishing the pedestal that he will surely get hoisted onto before too long.

Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2006 5:35 amPinochet overthrew socialist President Salvador Allende at a time when the U.S. was working to destabilize his Marxist government and keep Chile from exporting communism in Latin America. But the world reacted in horror as Santiago's main soccer stadium filled with political prisoners to be tortured, killed or forced into exile.
Although his dictatorship laid the groundwork for South America's most stable economy, Pinochet will be remembered as the archetype of the era's repressive rulers who proliferated throughout Latin America and, in many cases, were secretly supported by the United States.
Hmmm!!!!!!

Bush Seeks "New Way Forward in Iraq'
On Monday President Bush spoke at the State Department after meeting with advisers about Iraq.
President Bush:
"I appreciate the advice I got from those folks in the field. And that advice is an important part, an important component of putting together a new way forward in Iraq. Like most Americans, this administration wants to succeed in Iraq, because we understand success in Iraq would help protect the United States in the long run."
Today the president is planning to hold a videoconference with U.S. military commanders in Baghdad and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad. He is also expected to meet with Iraq's Sunni Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi in Washington.
Did someone mention talking without really saying anything .... ???
