g: " And if America legally elected a socialist president who began to enact socialist reforms, would this justify a military coup and the murder and torture of thousands of Americans?" is a serious question? Ok. My answer was "no".
THANKyou!
There now, that wasn't so bad, was it?
And yet, the Wall Street Journal says that what Pinochet did in Chile -- the military overthrow of a legally elected socialist president who was instituting socialist policies -- was admirable.
So why would the Wall Street Journal not apply that to the United States?
