My brother wrote an article about this a few years ago...

His conclusion:
"Our leaders have priorities and they have values, but they are not freedom or democracy."

Yes, and who but who was a CIA head in 1973. Wasn't that GH-W Bush?

They say GH-W Bush was present (and then connected with the CIA) when JFK was assasinated too. Wasn't Johnson a fellow texan? You know those silly texans...always whoopin' it up.

Must just be a random coincidence.

Don Q, it isn't a partisan failing, it's a moral one and any who believe in the principles of democracy should rail against it regardless of where it happened or under whose watch.

onleyone, that quote goes to the heart of the matter. Unbelieveable hypocrisy…

This legacy of Nixon's is truly disgusting and truly sad.

Nixon, please...

And did the Nixon administration overthrow the Arbenz government in Guatemala, or the Mossadeq government in Iran, the Suharto government in Indonesia, or the Aristide government in Haiti?

Get real, we have been overthrowing governments left and right for at least a century so that American Corporations get wealthier.

“Missing” with Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek is a compelling film about this historical event. Even that movie was more about the death of an American caught up in the coup, and less about the deaths and mutilations of the thousands of Chileans who were suspected by the government to be aiding the rebels.

Anyway- I found the subject mesmerizing.

per Henry Kissinger:

I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.

This legacy of Nixon's is truly disgusting and truly sad. One has to wonder just how much evidence we need before realizing how critically important it is we elect capable and moral leaders. History can only be a teacher if we learn from it. Thank-you Mr. Kern.
