You apparently would rather see your neighbor tortured than your wallet lightened. It's a values thing, I guess.
But go ahead and trash liberals some more -- it obviously gives you a big ole hard-on, and allows you to dismiss what Chile itself has said about Pinochet's dictatorship.
To answer your earlier question to me, "Bolivia." Mad props to Ty. My first thought was "Brazil" but then I realized this was the wrong board.
To answer my earlier questions to you, "China" and "China". Got it.

Really, Everyone on this board would agree that the Chicago boys and Milton Friedman produced a miracle in Chile. I doubt that. Because that would lead to the fact that the answer for all these third world countrys would be to slash their tarrifs, not protect their domestic industry, not subsidies their farmers, let US corporations come in and "exploit" the hell out of them by paying their workers usuerous wages, privatise their industry etc. In other words do everything the IMF and World Bank tells them to do, and that they should all embrace the WTO. That is an admission that no liberal can swallow.
