Justice: Former Chilean Dictator
Pinochet Avoids Trial Through Death - In a sign of how
much Pinochet still divided his country, some Chileans
danced in the streets at the news of his death, while others
wept outside the hospital. Car horns blared as detractors of
the deceased former dictator danced and cheered in Plaza
Italia, a major intersection near the city centre where
Chileans usually congregate to celebrate sporting victories.
Santiago Cavieres, a 75-year-old lawyer, said: "I'm going to
celebrate with my family the death of the tyrant. I even
have a bottle of Brazilian cane alcohol we've been saving
for 25 years to celebrate this day." See… Al Jazeera

Brutal Dictator Dies - Reforming dictator whose grip on power in Chile persisted well beyond his brutal 'war against communism' - General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte seized power on September 11, 1973, in a military coup against the Chilean Government of President Salvador Allende. He ruled until March 11, 1990, when he handed over power to President-elect Patricio Aylwin. Pinochet became an international symbol of Latin American military dictatorship, though for many Chileans he was the man who saved Chile from a Marxist takeover and presided over an economic restructuring that set the country firmly on the road to sustained and impressive economic growth.
