Isn't it embarrassing for Chile that Pinochet won't die ?

I mean, they keep on pretending to want to "prosecute" Pinochet for crimes against humanity and in particular for crimes against innocent people in Chile.

However, everyone knows that to prosecute Pinochet means "other" high-ranking and powerful individuals will also get caught up in the spotlight.

So they are just waiting for him to shuffle off to "the big fire down below" so that they can drop all proceedings.

The problem is that, he's now reached the age of 91 and keeps on recovering from strokes and heart-attacks. That man will live to be 100.

How should Chile solve their problem ? Just prosecute him and be done with or else drag things out for another 10 years hoping that he dies before appearing in court ?

    He's 91, I doubt the Chilean government will prosecute. Hard to believe that Pinochet will probably die a peaceful death of old age. Hopefully he is haunted by his atrocities.

    The reason they will not prosecute is because he is one of the great heros of Chile. In his 17 years of power a little over 2,000 people were killed. He gave up power voluntarily. George (louis the XIV) Bush killed half that in one night in "Operation just BEcause" in Panama.
