No Justice

News from the LA Times; "WASHINGTON - With the Bushes preparing to stand down from a quarter century in top elected offices, a frenzied competition has erupted in the Republican Party over who will inherit a fundraising and vote-getting machine built by the family over the years into one of the most valuable assets in modern politics."

Shouldn’t that bother us? Shouldn’t it bother Republicans?

"SANTIAGO, Chile - Augusto Pinochet, the embodiment of the brutal and intensely anti-communist South American military dictator, died Sunday, a military doctor said. He was 91 and had suffered a heart attack a week earlier."

Beyond the reach of human justice now. Maybe we should set an example and point out all of the American “conservatives” who worked with him and gave him aid. Let’s name them. That seems to be fair.

“Pinochet's government received tacit approval and material support from the United States. The exact nature and extent of this support is disputed. (See U.S. role in 1973 Coup, U.S. intervention in Chile and Operation Condor for more details.)”
