Nope. Never claim he was either way. He was a fool in my opinion.

Also don't try to speak for other people... that is incredibly annoying and shows what kind of person you really are.

Of course Pinochet pissed off lots of his own people. There were even many Americans who were convinced that Abraham Lincoln was the brother of Satan. The point here is: what do the majority of Chilean people think of Pinochet?

A similar case could be made for Napoleon. His aggressions killed far more people than Pinochet, and yet French people worshipped in the Dome of Invalide.

I don't identify with any brutal dictators, I identify with the brutalized serfs, although I do admire the young Napoleon, before he crowned himself.

For completely different reasons.

Don't know. Do you? (and before Fez posts here that he knows, I'd like to see a source)

A. Napoleons agression wasn't targetted at french civilians. Others were responsable for that.
B. Napoleon mainly killed foreign soldiers
C. Napoleon conquered a vast empire, and was personally responsable for some of the most brilliant military victories ever. Pinochet did no such things.
