→Relative merits of Allende and Pinochet: human rights standard
I don't know. How is whether Allende agreed to this or not relevant to the fact that Allende did not torture, maim and murder his opponents and Pinochet did? And please answer my question. Does the fact that Pinochet tortured, maimed, and killed thousands of men, women and children for opposing him while Allende did not torture, maim and kill those who opposed him matter to you? --[[User:PF Fox|PF Fox]] 13:46, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

:We need a standard of [[human rights]]. I'll start that article, giving it a balanced treatment which includes Chomsky's "US must be perfect, all others can do whatever" viewpoint. Some of the comparisons of the relative merits of Pinochet and Allende are reminiscent of Chomsky's POV. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 09:37, 13 April 2007 (EDT)
