A simple formula and efficient that if it had been consistently adopted by others, perhaps today would not be live political Kickback that is obfuscating the continent, where majorities come centralism, protectionism and warlordism and the solution to their problems. The results of the mechanisms applied by the rulers populists today will be in short time and will not be nothing flattering, then awaken the masses from their slumber and will ask the imposition of neoliberalism, capitalism of the 21st century or whatever you decide to call the system, more wealth, happiness and well-being has generated in human history. Can’t forgive him Pinochet for the deaths of innocent people. But it should not absolve Castro. Both dictators must judge them with the same rod. Pinochet had at least the dignity and the courage to leave power and be subject to national and international trials. Castro never had none of those merits.
Dictators printed different nuances to their Governments depending on their personality and ideology.

One of the most common problems with Latin American leaders, is that they become addicted to power. They wish to perpetuate it and seek as Chavez and Morales changing laws to do so. We are returning to a new form of warlordism in democracy where people vitorea the authoritative hand of unscrupulous leaders. The end of this adventure will be disastrous because it plunge many into poverty and widespread violence will be its corollary. It is then that Pinochet and other military that ruled in the 1970s, they will be viewed from a new perspective, which will allow without exalting them, understand them.
