You *are* aware of the CIA and MI5's assistance in bringing him to power in (unrelated but spooky) Sept 11th 1973 aren't you?

Just 1 link, but if you google (I believe you know how to) about Pinochet, MI5, CIA, 1973, Coup etc, you'll find all the info you need.
So it's hardly surprising that, as with Hussein, the UK & USA help to overthrow a foreign government and install a pro-US dictator, and then promptly turn a blind eye to his massacres, disappearances, terrorism and murder.

Both the Guardian link and the one above list comprehensively Pinochet's involvement and connection (West-approved) to terrorist organisations, money laundering, USA support and assistance in massacres in Nicaragua, Guatamala etc etc.
Yet you support and defend a murderous, brutal dictator simply because he offered assistance to a government that helped to install him some 30 years ago?
How does Pinochet and Hussein differ? You've already been busted trying to talk about nuclear arms, there are no WOMD, public support is waning (despite your baseless comment otherwise). Both are guilty of murdering their own people using methods and equipment provided by us, both exploited their populace for personal gain, both have been invited guests of honour at both UK and US functions prior to policy change that then turned them "enemies"
I'm having trouble in seeing how you can so vociferously attack Hussein and preen about UK/US methods turning up zero evidence *yet* are willing to defend another murderous dictatorship.

I was actually going to make the point that you were making a groundless accusation, but I thought you were being serious so treated it as such. When you said "the sun is blue" I just thought you were taking the mick. Looks like I misunderstood :)

It was a joke. My accusing you of making groundless accusations was a groundless accusation in itself. I put 'look the sun is blue' as a hint it was a joke. :D
Grow up, all of you. That includes 30 year old Goatboy, who at his advanced age, should know better than to play kiss-chase with other boys.
Idiots.
As for me, I'm only here to pretend I understand it all and to therefore look cool.
*Stands around wearing shades*
How can you praise Pinochet but hate Hussein?

If you think I make groundless accusations I'd like to bring to your attention Misters Belldandy And Whitestripes.
My point WAS, that in Belldandy's post he said that groundless accusations aren't nice then made one in the next sentence. How you can gleam that I'm a "Goatboy groupie" from "Well, you gave it a try" I'll never know.
And Hedfix, what groundless accusations have I made?

I don't see the point in giving answers to people who don't want them, but have instead decided the answer before asking the question, and will not change from it no matter what.
In other words; whatever I answer will never be good enough for him, hence the simple thing to do is not to answer and let him continue with such topics as this.
