57. Please study history
Your response might be a bit different if you had a clue about South American history. I am certain that you didn't live there, know people there, or even visit there. In Argentina, the "military government" you criticize originally appointed president GENERAL Peron....that supported fascists and nazis....and named his wife vice-president (later named president on his death). The current Kirschner government has tried to take away pensions of people that worked during the military government. Imagine being a secretary, janitor, or admistrator working for the Bush administration, and having your pension taken away because the Obama administration is now in power. Please tell me how you defend that. Forget that the "terrorists" were blowing up things all over Argentina during the 70's. I would not defend the government of the later 70's, but having the remotist understanding of this country might give you pause, before you make absolutist statements that sound stupid. Please stick to things that you might even begin to understand.
