I realize that Pinochet received plenty of American support but let’s also keep in mind that he didn’t rise to power in a vacuum. There are plenty of far-right individuals in South America then and now.

This is true - but regardless of the issues that brought Pinochet to power, for the Wall Street Journal to publish an editorial opinion like this is just horrific.

“Midwifing a transition to democracy?” Pure bullshit.
