"Because the word Dictator today is strongly pejorative, it should be emphasized that during the early 19th century it carried no such negative connotation. The title was then used in its Roman sense -a magistrate with supreme authority elected during times of emergency- and was bestowed upon a number of the new Latin American heads of state, including Jose de San Martin and Simon Bolivar ..." The oligarchies' hatred of Paraguay's founding father Dr. Francia and his contemporaneous -other beloved Latin American leaders- has been passed down through the generations. While these genuine heroes are having just little real vindication -most rhetorical- the title Dictator conferred upon them by massive popular congresses, today remains stigmatized by the descendants of traditional upper class -our histories' writers- who misleadingly use it to name mere tyrants like Stroessner, Somoza, Batista, Noriega, etc. (Even intellectuals such as Nemecio Barreto & Dr. Filartiga still calling Stroessner a Dictator: see letter to President Clinton) Thus, the original meaning of the word implying a nationalistic posture sustained by our fathers was greatly distorted by neocolonialism. 26 Dossier on the case of Capt.
