Even though Pinochet is up there as one of the evil bastards to grace our planet, he isn't known as such in the West because he was a US supporter. So the coup was a proxy war - no doubt about it. And the Taliban were freedom fighters until they rebelled against America to become terrorists etc. And today Assad is evil because he is an Ally of Russia but Saudi Arabia are not because they support America. The Cold War may be over but nations and their leaders are still pawns in superpower power games. So surely you must understand the same moves were being played out 45 years ago as they are now for the same reasons too.
