If Mr Mullen is so cutesy-smart, perhaps he can explain why 3000-plus
perishing in the avoidance of (yet another) Leftist totalitarian country
are not an acceptable tradeoff for the 100,000,000 or so who have died
under Communist control. Especially since those who went by the board
in Chile were Communists, fellow travelers, pre-Sandalistas, and
intelligence operatives from Cuba or the USSR. Like we've some
especially troubling shortage of the intellectual idiots who support
Leftish policy -- even at this late date.

Anyone else noticed the odd coincidence of the NYC atrocity with

Amerikkka's

cynical destruction of Chile's elected government to be replaced by

military

dictatorship?

Also the toll there was around 3,000.... Karma, man, karma........

Only 3000 died in Chile during the CIA coup and subsequent generation-long
military dictatorship? Seems on the low side to me. Hmmm.


BBC site gives 3000 for the death toll *during the CIA coup itself*.

http://www.memoriaviva.com/Desaparecidos/list.htm

gives a list of 1197 named 'disappeared' people during Pinochet's vile
reign, which, let's repeat it, only happened because

"The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to
decide for themselves."

"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to
the irresponsibility of its people."

(both from good ole Henry Kissinger, though you could be forgiven for
suspecting they would be from someone wearing a Hakenkreuz!)

http://www.trentu.ca/~mneumann/pinochet.html gives some specimens of his
malodorous regime's US-supported torture activities. Not for the
faint-hearted.

Personally I suspect you might well be able to add a zero to that 3000
figure but I haven't been able to find anything authoritative. Maybe nobody
knows. Sad.
