Pinochet's "Legacy"

I found this article in this morning's Washington Post. It relates the present situation of General Augusto Pinochet in Chile. I found interesting the fact that the Chilean population is still clearly divided on the issue of how to deal with Pinochet. Many of his monuments have been demolished, and on the other hand, we find people that praise him for, among other things, his economic reforms. Accused of human rights violations among other things, the 89-year-old general still awaits a decision. At this point I'm not sure on where I stand on the issue, for even though such events should not go unpinished, so many years have passed and he is so old that it is hard to take a stand. Many Chileans feel they need to move on and leave their past behind while many others refuse to see so many cases go unpunished.
