→Fact: Allende was not brutal. Pinochet was.: background
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)
