Chilean Ex-Dictator Augusto Pinochet Dies at 91
Opponents Battle Police in Santiago, While Supporters Mourn
By EDUARDO GALLARDO, AP

SANTIAGO, Chile (Dec. 10) - Gen. Augusto Pinochet, who terrorized his opponents for 17 years after taking power in a bloody coup, died Sunday, putting an end to a decade of intensifying efforts to bring him to trial for human rights abuses blamed on his regime. He was 91.

Supporters saw Pinochet as a Cold War hero for overthrowing democratically elected President Salvador Allende at a time when the U.S. was working to destabilize his Marxist government and keep Chile from exporting communism in Latin America.

But the world soon reacted in horror as Santiago's main soccer stadium filled with political prisoners to be tortured, shot, disappeared or forced into exile.

Pinochet's dictatorship laid the groundwork for South America's most stable economy, but his crackdown on dissent left a lasting legacy: His name has become a byword for the state terror, in many cases secretly supported by the United States, that retarded democratic change across the hemisphere.

So, after reading the play Julius Caesar, the shakespearian classic, I must wonder, did shakespeare merely depict Marcus Brutus and Caius Cassius as lovers, or were they in fact, lovers in life as well as in the dramatic play written by shakespeare. For I know that in that time period, a form of bisexuality between men and women alike was not an uncommon thing, and I wish to know if there is any evidence that may prove my theory that Brutus and Cassius are lovers.

If anyone has any information on this at all, please, let me know, I am open to opinions, though factual evidence supporting this would be more helpful, and websites would also be much appreciated, for I would like to research this myself.

When Lincoln was elected, South Carolina and eventually six other states seceded from the Union before Lincoln took office and four more after that. But Buchanan is often harshly criticized for not doing anything to prevent the war. (It was cited as the worst presidential mistake in all of US History, see http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-02-18-presidential-goofs_x.htm) He sat and waited for some hope of reconciliation. But what could he do? For one much of the standing army was out west controlling Indians, there was nothing in the Constitution tha said he could attack another state for secession (though Jackson did establish a precedent earlier, and got a hell of a lot of slack for it), and if he did attack, it would only start the Civil War earlier and it would make the North the aggressor. Still, people say he could have done better. What could he have done?
