7. Oh not hardly
Just making an observation on the current state of the Chilean economy, and recognizing that democratic institutions have returned to Chile. That doesn't qualify as praising Pinochet.

Just as I have acknowledged that literacy and health care have improved in Cuba. That's not praise for Castro, either.

Both have committed serious abuses against their citizens. I am capable of recognizing that; I have my doubts that you can make a similar acknowledgement.
