'''Response to Ed Poor's comments in order''': I express my anger over ''these'' violations because some editors ''seem'' to be ''defending''(!) Pinochet. '''US Support''': So what? It wasn't the first time the CIA meddled in another country causing chaos. Salvador Allende was a '''democratically elected''' leader, but since he was guilty of the indefensible crime of being a Socialist, the Nixon administration supported a military coup. (If I remember right, Colin Powell once referred to this act as a bad moment in our history). '''Transitioned to Democracy''': Almost two decades later.... '''Communists''': Much of my ancestry fled from Russia to come to the United States, so rest assured, I most certainly am angry about the human rights violations that happened (and are still happening...) there. Why than haven't I mentioned it? Because nobody here has defended Stalin...
