NC,
I posted below to Jacob. In my initial post i compared the heroes of the left in the past and today. My comment went from allende to arafat. As i remember it allende was popular among leftist students back then. Am i remembering correctly and is my comment to jacob below accurate in your opinion. I do not purport to be an expert on chile so i may be missing something here. mike

Jacob said "To say that the "peace folks" thought of Allende as a hero, ignores every piece of historical evidence. The truth is 180 degrees the other way. It was the Reaganites/NeoCons who made him a hero, because he was anti-communist. It was the "peace folks" who protested against him, year after year."
Jacob,
Mike saidAre you confusing allende with pinochet? I am certainly no expert on chile but i do seem to remember a coup reportedly orchestrated against allende with the support of the CIA that brought pinochet to power. Perhaps "it was the "peace folks" who protested against him, year after year.", not against allende. Since i am no expert on chile, could you or Sun, please elucidate since you both seem to have all the answers. Mike
