The Washington Post Endorses Fascism

This editorial in the Washington Post is unbelievable. They essentially praise one of the worst fascist dictators and criminals in history for the "economic miracle" in Chile.

Of course thats not true. The success of the Chilean economy has absolutely nothing to do with Pinochet's crimes. But even if that were the case, praising that mass murderer for that is still beyond comprehension. The end does not justify the means and it is absolutely unacceptable to give credit to Pinochet for anything. It is no different than defending people like Hitler or Pol Pot.

The editors of the Washington Post should retract their dispeakable editorial and apologize to the families of the victims of Pinochet. They are responsible for degenerating a newspaper that used to have credibility in the past to a piece of paper that defends fascism.
