I find it odd to hear a person talk about faith and freedom like Thatcher did in the article linked to above while at the same time support murderous dictators like Pinochet.
I assume she supported Pinochet as a counterbalance to Latin American communism. The danger posed by communism going global posed a greater threat to faith and freedom than a few military dictators like Pinochet.
