According to Huneeus, Pinochet's success lay in his ability to forge a coalition of religious supporters and free-market-oriented economic technocrats- the Chicago Boys.

Who were the Chicago Boys and what was their path into Pinochet's dictatorship? Speculation abounds about the motives of these Chilean born, U.S. educated economists who came to play a pivotal role in Pinochet's regime. This paper will examine the education of the Chicago Boys at the University of Chicago and their subsequent rise into Pinochet's government. The Chicago Boys' historical path suggests that their influence in Chilean politics cannot be reduced to U.S. political motivations or ideology, but rather must take into consideration the transformation of foreign aid policies and the economic environment of the time.

Voting with the U.S. were the usual atoll subjects and some European states motivated in equal parts by guilt for World War II complicity in anti-Semitic outrages and a desire to pander to the U.S. (Countries voting no were Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Netherlands, Palau, Panama, Poland, Slovakia, Macedonia, Ukraine and the United States.) Abstaining were 44, mainly EU, states, for similar reasons-although, in Russia's case, the butchers of Chechnya are not eager to establish precedents for international scrutiny of war crimes. Henry Kissinger travels carefully out of fear of the Pinochet example-and at current rates, as the Chilcot inquiry in London looks under the stone to see what Tony Blair was up to before...
Pinochet was preparing to invest even more, with the first prototype to be produced using British technology in Chile by 2001.1 The extent of Pinochet's arms trafficking was unknown to the public until 2004, when a U.S. Senate investigative subcommittee released a report describing how the Riggs Bank of Washington, D.C., had collaborated with Pinochet and his family in establishing special accounts and offshore shell corporations to hide their business activities. In 1985 Pinochet followed the example of the Reagan administration and began negotiating arms deals with Iran, with the direct approval of CIA director William casey.6 Cardoen and a secret government delegation journeyed to Tehran, where they concluded a contract in which Chile would sell Iran 300 units of a newly designed cl...
