First time I've ever defended Castro even partly. :-) >>This overthrowing of a government would be the equivalent of Castro's revolution Arguably, Castro overthrew a dictator. Allende was, afaik, quite democratic(?). Castro did break promises about general elections. He took over and got military/economic support from other dictators. The main difference is that today Castro+family are still dictators of Cuba -- while Pinochet and his junta are gone since a long time, leaving a quite nice country. And this is totally off topic for HN and the article, of course.
