Oh.. .........

They should had let him "disappear" too, the same way he treated the victims.

Normally I'd go into my "but he's still a person" mode, but sorry, I say goodbye. Sick son of a b*tch.

Id rather be under an incompetant president that me and my people elected, rather than one i didnt.

isnt that what democracy is about? choosing your own fortune, and then getting rid of it at the next election if you dont like it?

When was the last time you heard of a communist giving up power once they had taken it?

mmm allende disolved the parliament and was a dictator?
also, his lack of control of the house of deputies also shows that he had taken over power.

your being brainwashed is however mildy amusing.

[B757300]

And your attempt to be insulting just shows that you're incapable of a civil debate.

Congo DR

Cameroon
Ivory Coast
