Fidel Cas­tro still lives, but there was some good news today. Anoth­er dis­gust­ing cock­roach that has infest­ed our world has died. No sane per­son will miss Augus­to José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte, the ruth­less dic­ta­tor of Chile. The tragedy is, of course, that Pinochet was nev­er brought to jus­tice, nev­er tru­ly defeat­ed by the forces of civ­i­liza­tion and lib­er­ty. He was mere­ly demot­ed, and some of his toys were tak­en from him. The count­less thou­sands whom he tor­tured and mur­dered, the mil­lions he exploit­ed, have seen no jus­tice. The same will be for Cas­tro. Pinochet and Cas­tro were, of course, iden­ti­cal twin broth­ers, dupli­cates of each oth­er down to the small­est mol­e­cule. Both have got­ten away with it. They have lived to ripe old ages, unre­pen­tant and unpun­ished for their crimes.

Britain’s Mar­garet Thatch­er chats ami­ably with dic­ta­tor, mass mur­der­er and tor­tur­er Augus­to Pinochet, whom she seems to have deeply admired. At the time of this pho­to, Pinochet was under indict­ment for a tiny por­tion of his atrocities

¿Que difer­en­cia tienen estos dos dic­ta­dores? — Nada.
