Friends,

There is a good short article in this week's Nation on politics in Chile since Pinochet's arrest. It is written by Marc Cooper. The arrest has galvanized anti-Pinochet sentiment in Chile and completely rearranged the political map, according to Cooper.

Historian Howard Zinn has argued that it is essential to keep the radical faith because you never know when a spark may start a raging fire. Hopefully a raging fire is beginning to burn in Chile (and in Argentina, Bolivia, etc.), sparked by the arrest.
