[IMC-Editorial] Letter to the Editor: Thank Pinochet

[David Holcberg, The Ayn Rand Institute]

Dear Editor:

Thirty years ago, on September 11, 1973, Gen. Pinochet saved Chile
from the claws of Marxist dictator Salvador Allende, who, if left in
power, would have turned Chile into a brutal communist dictatorship
that would have enslaved and ruined the lives of millions of Chileans.

As horrible as Pinochet's crimes were, they certainly pale in
comparison to the wide scale atrocities that would have been committed
by the totalitarian, leftist government of Allende. Had Pinochet and
his supporters not acted in a forceful manner, the death toll would
have been not in the hundreds, but in the hundreds of thousands.
