Lewis tries to argue that the terrorism carried out by the Argentine Military Junta was "rational" or "necessary" to stop the spread of both violence and communism. I don't see how the abduction of pregnant women and the theft of their newborn children would ever have worked to improve the already chaotic situation, or how it could ever be seen as "rational" or "necessary", no matter at what time you approach the analysis. If you want to truly understand the political and social climate that lead up to the Dirty War, I may recommend reading Rodolfo Walsh's nonfiction novel, Operación Masacre (Operation Massacre, considered as the wiki article says, to be the very first of its genre by some) which describes a real life event: a clandestine abduction and excecution of civilians by firing squad, without evidence or trial and before the official declaration of Martial law, carried out and covered up by policemen and law enforcement authorities in as early as 1956 (only a year after Peron's deposition). This is a critical event, as it is considered by many as one of the earliest examples in the country of a documented modern-day excecution carried out by the authorities solely on the basis of guilt by association.186.153.51.29 (talk) 02:22, 21 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
