#1 The Miami Herald one year had him as "BEST LATIN AMERICA DICTATOR" one year. As I remember his real vice was a fondness for young girls. He would have gotten along fine with Scott Ritter.
Then there was the Stroessner joke, The Genral visited Argentina. When he was visiting the PM, Stroessner asked, " Argentina is such a poor country how can you afford such a lavish office?"
The politico replied, "You see the bridge over the river?"
The general replied, "Yes"
The Argie said patting his wallet, "50%"
Several years latter an indian from the boonies in Paraguay got an audience with General Stroessner. He is amazed by the lavish office and asks the general, "Since Paraguay is so poor how can he afford it."
The General points to the Parana river and asks, "Do see the bridge?" The Indian says "NO"
The genral then pats his wallet and says, "100!%"
