See there you go just as I said. Because he took up the mantle of dictator to save his country he's damned no matter what to you. If he won you'd say he cheated and yet despite him losing the election you still call it a failed sham. Also as for "war crimes" the idea of it is nothing more than a smear job. Ever sense their creation after the war they've been used as a political hit against anyone they don't like. While those that actually commit atrocities don't get called out for it at all. Look at Africa and the Middle East, nobody gives a shit about those genocides. But because Pinochet dealt with communist insurgents he's a "war criminal" fucking stupid.
