That's a good point, r3x.
It would be silly of me to seriously argue that the fact President Bush was elected means that any policy of his is beyond criticism.
I would submit, however, that is what Mxy is implying regarding Allende.
All of which brings me back to my original point: regardless of the fact that Allende was "elected," and Pinochet was not, given the history of communist governments, elected or otherwise, over the last century, can we really safely assume Allende would have been any better than Pinochet in the long run?
