Sometimes Democracy Must Be Bathed In Blood.

I'm Not Someone Who Usually Sends Out Threats. I Warn Only Once. The Day They Touch One Of My Men, The Rule Of Law Is Over.

The Rich People Are Those Who Create Wealth, And You Have To Treat Them Well So They Continue To Give Wealth.

Today, Near The End Of My Days, I Want To Say That I Harbor No Rancor Against Anybody, That I Love My Fatherland Above All And That I Take Political Responsibility For Everything That Was Done Which Had No Other Goal Than Making Chile Greater And Avoiding Its Disintegration. I Assume Full Political Responsibility For What Happened.

My Face Is Sour. Maybe That's Why They Say I'm A Dictator.

I Have Lived With My Conscience And My Own Memories For Over Quarter Of A Century Since The Events Of 1973. These Are Not Easy Reflections For Me. But I Am At Peace With Myself, And With The Chilean People, About What Happened. I Am Clear In My Mind That The Return To Chile Of True Democracy, And From That The True Freedom To Which All Individual People Are Entitled, Could Not Have Been Achieved Without The Removal Of The Marxist Government.
