As for your anti-Allende propaganda, I don't think one claimed gift of $30,000 from the Soviet Union in 1971 the makes him a Soviet puppet. Had you read the words in that Wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Allende#Soviet_involvement
"In the KGB’s view, Allende's fundamental error was his unwillingness to use force against his opponents. Without establishing complete control over all the machinery of the State, his hold on power could not be secure.[34]"

?

Hardly a totalitarian communist dictator in the making, I would have thought.

Clearly Chile suffered from a capital strike towards the end of Allende's rule, but if Kissinger, of all people, had judged Allende to be an example of a "successful Marxist Government" that people in other parts of the world would willingly want to emulate, then that's good enough for me.

Why isn't that good enough for you, Paul.L?
