Augusto Pinochet's Final Moments?
General Augusto Pinochet, who overthrew President Salvador Allende in a coup d'etat in 1973 and ruled Chile for 17 years, suffered a heart attack while under house arrest. Say the word "dictator" and his picture will come to mind. During his reign of terror thousands of people disappeared, mainly those who were part of the opposition. At the same time, regular citizens would be taken from the streets and never found afterwards. Images of tanks, armed soldiers and young mothers with their families cruising the streets of Chile side by side will haunt its people forever.
However, despite all the atrocities he committed, Pinochet was not killed. He was tried and eventually put under house arrest. It seems that his time has come. He's 91 years old. Chileans let God decide his fate.

ai mai intrat pe blog-ul tau dupa ce ai postat? Din cauza lui Pinochet nu se mai vede nimic in partea dreapta...
Done. Nu c-ar fi ceva interesant de vazut, oricum.
