Certainly not here in South America, for these are the days of the generals. In most countries the military have got together and thrown out their strongmen. Argentina and [[Juan Velasco Alvarado|Peru]], Venezuela and the [[Rafael Trujillo|Dominican Republic]], [[Gustavo Rojas Pinilla|Colombia]] and Guatemala. They've all sent their dictators into exile to live near their numbered bank accounts. But not here. This is Paraguay, still firmly in the hands of the last of the hemisphere's old style dictators. A military despot who's ruled his little known land sternly and absolutely for 16 years. His Excellency, General of the armed forces Don Alfredo Stroessner, President of Paraguay - a man with power over life and death whose grip shows no sign of weakening, who remains the Last Dictator.|Introduction to the documentary ''The Last Dictator''.}}'''Alfredo Stroessner '''(November 3<sup>rd</sup>, 1912 - August 16<sup>th</sup>, 2006) was a Paraguayan military officer and the country's president from 1954 to 1989. HIs rule was the 14<sup>th</sup> longest ever by state leaders as well as the longest in South American history and second-longest among 20th-century Latin American leaders; only [[Fidel Castro]]'s tenure as leader of Cuba was longer.
