Another South American republic under the boot of the military. A freely elected government toppled by soldiers. The constitution shelved, generals running the country. THEY KILLED DEMOCRACY IN ARGENTINA!
If you haven’t seen those headlines yet, it won’t-be long before you do. Bertrand Russell is not here to lead the pack, but it will soon be in full cry, depend on it, demanding an end to aid for Argentina and an investigation into possible CIA involvement. There will be demands that refugees be admitted to the United States without the usual red tape; international organizations will express their indignation; and Argentina will join the hand of international outcasts: Chile, Paraguay, Rhodesia, and South Africa.
