Chile MPs urge Pinochet monument
A group of right-wing politicians has proposed erecting three monuments
to Chile's former military leader, General Augusto Pinochet, who died this month.

The main monument, for which plans have been put to parliament for approval,
would be in the capital, Santiago.

.... statues go up and statues go down - visit Russia & try to find statues to Stalin, Marx, Lenin....... many have been melted down or moved to a park of cast offs.

There are many who are still pressing to bring Pinochet to trial.  Try him "in absentia" to air out all of his dirty laundry.

'You don't label as a traitor, torture and kill people for purely for their beliefs'

- No, you label, torture and kill people for their traitorous ACTIVITIES.

Tom,
Your stand holds water with a lot of people..... but not all of people.

Those who supported Allende, those who had elected Allende, might beg to differ.

True.  I have had conversations with such people in the past.  The most notable being a long frustrating three hour discussion in a German Gasthaus with a Neo-Nazi who called himself a 'Republican'.  Whether on the right or on the left, they all have one thing in common:  the belief that their beliefs trump our rights.
