[QUOTE="Injured Soldier, post: 8080157, member: 21305"] Spain was done after 3 years of civil war, it couldn't have taken a meaningful part in WWII if it wanted to. Franco saw this. For all the horrible things Franco did, he wasn't dumb. By your own standards Knight, Franco was evil. The socialists and republicans weren't the only ones to kill Catholic priests, the various factions on Franco's side did too, and no one was excommunicated for it either. Crime and drug free? So was the Soviet Union. One of my Russian friends from Kazakhistan said that it was very frequent that his five year old sister was allowed to go play in the park five blocks away an a warm summer's night at 11pm. Today now my friend's sister is 21, and when my friend still lived there he had to accompany her a block to her school. Why do you uphold Franco's crime-free society and not the SU's? Iron Curtain country? Stalin didn't want Spain to become communist any more than Franco did. So it is a moot point. Without Franco and the other nationalists, Stalin and the USSR wouldn't have even been involved in Spain, the nationalists manufactured their own false propaganda on that one. solomon, Chile was only greater under Pinochet if you take a strict economic measuring stick that has little to do with people in real life. Unemployment tripled, prices soared, protests became more frequent but were put down more harshly. And that's just economic, Pinochet did untold damage by those he tortured and by the dictatorship he imposed on a country that had been a democracy of over 100 years. [/QUOTE]
