But he FAILED:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augusto_Pinochet#Arrest_and_trial

'On November 25, 2006, Pinochet marked his 91st birthday by issuing a statement for the first time taking full political responsibility for atrocities and abuses committed by his regime. Two days later, he was indicted and ordered to remain under house arrest for the kidnapping and murder of two bodyguards of former President Salvador Allende --Wagner Salinas and Francisco Lara-— who were arrested the day of the 1973 coup and executed by firing squad four weeks later.[12]'

Chile is now a democracy.

And he FAILED mentally too. He went loony due to Alzheimer's (although he went loony the day he had ideas above his station, a la Hitler - and HE FAILED).

ALL Dictatorships FAIL. Without Exception. Nazi Germany fell. Soviet Russia fell. Apartheid South Africa fell. Cuba will fall, as will North Korea.

Dictatorships FAIL from the start. Either from within, or without. Whether they last a day, a month, a year or a decade, their regime's existence is only delaying the inevitable; their FAILURE.
