29.  anti-human comments
by Pinochet... well, here's one of his better know quotations:

"Sometimes democracy must be bathed in blood."
--Augusto Pinochet

And he certainly never displayed any hesitancy to reign over the murders of civilians. There's some other, more grotesque, Pinochet quotations but I can't find them at the moment.

And if you seriously think the righwingers have any qualms about unleashing that type of bloodshed perhaps you should look into things such as Operation Condor:
The Condor Years: How Pinochet and His Allies Brought Terrorism to Three Continents. John Dinges. New York: New Press, 2003. read a review of the book here on the Foreign Affairs website
