By the way, have you heard about this Progressive Historians site...your writing would fit well there too...
Anyway, in a Zurich paper I saw a disturbing photo today. Three young people stnading over the fascist dictators open casket and giving him the fascist salute. It made me gag...

Yes, disturbing indeed. Fascism still seems to attract some youngsters like moth to candlelight and the Chilean people seems to be divided over their judgement of the dictator's legacy, but usually these extremists are on the fringes of society and thus are more words than action.
That said, there are a larger portion of Pinochet supporters, but they are not that visible and not that extreme. I have had some discussions with Chilean expatriates over the recent events and most of them are condemning Pinochet and his legacy for the obvious reason that most of these people are former progressives that were consider as enemies of the Chilean state by Pinochet's regime.
