Dictator of Nicaragua.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence) -
we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. But for now, the US, UK, NL, ESP, etc are all on the same page, no matter what you say.And if he doesn't get military action with UN support... he will go in without.

Speaking of dictators, there are actually some who accomplished a lot of good things for their countries. Of course, they can still be ruthless and butchers. Kemal Atatuerk, Pinochet, and Deng Xiaoping fall into this category.
Then there are several visionary, charismatic dictators who either made or broke(more common) their countries through their megalomaniac social engineering experiments. Obviously, Hitler, Khomeni, Mao, Pol Pot, and Stalin fall into this category.
But most of the dictators are those gangsters and petty criminals who grapped the power either through dirty maneuverings or kissing up to the right people. They don't create as much damage as those "visionary" dictators, but they are the most despicable type of persons if encountered in everyday's life. Saddam, Marcos, Diem, Aidid, and countless others belong into this lot.Comment

Pinochet did a great deal for Chile... he saved it from total economic disgrace and chaos. Chile could of easily been another modern day Venezuela if it weren't for him.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

the people there wanted to try Pinochet for crimes against humanity...that says enough.Quod Me Nutrit Me DestruitComment

Uh huh. The people? Or are you refering to a small portion of the population? I doubt the people wanted to. Afterall Pinochet is responsible for Chile's economy prosperity.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.
