yah, right
The way you make a "rational debate" out of this is by responding to what I've posted rather than just ascribing things to me that I haven't said or written. --[[User:PF Fox|PF Fox]] 13:44, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

:Here's one example:
::''Now please answer my earlier 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?''
:Now, those activities you reference occurred ''after'' the 1973 coup. The premise & conlcusion you've restated numerous times on this page, and elsewhere, is that US policy makers ''prior'' to giving consent to the removal of Allende is that ''they somehow'' (a) knew ahead of time Pinochet would engage in such activities; (b) gave consent to Pinochet to engage in such activities; (c) are complicit in such activites.
:At the [[Ayatollah Khomeini]] page we have an identical problem: Mr. James Earl Carter is directly responsible for the accession of Khomeini to power. Shortly after Khomeini took power, (1) Khomeini engaged in utterly reprehensible [[human rights]] violations that Pinochet's can hardly be compared to; (2) after US withdrawl from [[Iran]] under Mr. Carter the [[USSR]] invaded neighboring Afghanistan, which resulted in the [[genocide]] of between 1 million and 1.4 million Afghanis, 10% of the population. [http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat2.htm#Afghanistan][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democide] Now, based upon your reasoning, are we to hold Mr. Carter responsible for the genocide of 1 million plus Afghani's because of his wreckless irresponsibiltity?
