And should we envy them or pity them? Dikiyoba doesn't care what Dikiyoba gets, so long as Dikiyoba ends up with one soon, since Dikiyoba reads Dikiyoba's name from Arancaytar's list like this: Dikiyoba - [some discussion]. Edit: Typo.

quote:Er.. maybe not a lot to do with the concept of this thread but I just wanted to tell you I am from Chile -I live in Chile- and I don't agree with most of what you say. Even though it's true the US wanted Allende out of the way, there were strong reasons for many Chileans as well to see this señor far away. The country was a mess at that time, and things under his government were not funny at all. The US agents wanted Pinochet to call for democratic elections 2 or 4 years later, but he said no, thank you very much. And he remained in power for 16 years. I hope my contribution helps ;) Saludos! :) -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire. Posts: 292 | Registered: Sunday, November 23 2003 08:00 |

I agree, although there was no invasion in Chile. The Chilean military wanted to overthrow Allende and had been planning a coup for a year. Pinochet was not the *masterbrain* because when he assumed as a commander in chief in 1973 the plans were already desinged and the other generals asked his opinions. When they saw that he was against communism as well (let's not forget the cold war context...) they willingly accepted some American $$$upport (I am not sure exactly how that money was really used, but I've heard it was invested in propaganda afterwards) and did it. Anyway I would say Americans were only 5% responsible. Allende's withdrawal was something many, many Chileans were claiming. Even the women threw chicken feathers to the regiments to say "do something about this". For further info you can check the "cacerolazo protestas" and the "Tarjetas JAP" or "Desabastecimiento" in google ;) I am sorry for this "off-topic". :) -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire.
