He was a stabilizing influence to have in the area during the Cold War. And I believe his country saw some gradual economic development during his 35 years in power.

But I have no doubts as to his darker side. Most dictators have one, you know. But again, the hypocrisy is stunning. People pile hate upon hate toward Stroessner and Pinochet, but Castro is just so cool, you know.

Never heard of Stroessner bringing the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation.

You actually compare Stroessner to Castro???

Well, Laz said it all, I suppose...

Technically, I didn't compare them!!!

But I'd have no qualms doing so!!!

Castro is not the human deity you make him out to be!!!

BTW, sporting him for your avatar has made you more hip, how???

He was also a paedophile, and had the Secretary-General of the Paraguayan communist party chainsawed to death to the accompaniment of polka music. I know there's a school of thought that says one shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but Stroessner was evil.

Actually that sounds pretty cool.

I never heard that, and a google search of stroessner polka chainsaw only gives me 11 results, one being apolyton, and the other 10 unrelated ----------------------

"Chainsaw Polka" OTOH brings plenty of hits - I think we've found Alfie's soundtrack:

You would sentence someone to listen to polka music? What kind of bastard are you?

He could have been suggesting that being a paedophile sounds cool, or that speaking ill of the dead sounds cool. But Chainsaws are cool no matter what music is being played as an accompaniment (except maybe the Spice Girls).

[Barnabas]

The spice girls were cool in a KISS kind of way, the pop groups that followed their success (backstreet boys etc) were uncool
