Moral paradox
Ariel Dorfman in a beautifully written, but morally complex "opinion piece in the independant":http://argument.independent.co.uk/commentators/story.jsp?story=381753 argues that (if given the opourtunity in 1975) he'd rather Pinochet continuing in his murderous power than submit Chile to a hostile takeover by a foreign power (as will be the case in Iraq). Wow, this is like one of those philosophical moral dilemmas (i.e. kill one person to save five more). Tough stuff...
