a moment of thought for all 9/11 victims
the date 9/11 has become the symbol of a bloody terror attack on the US. But there is another 9/11, one in which countless thousands, experienced an equally bloody round of terror- terror urged on by the US itself.
On the morning of 11 september, 1973 air force jets bombed the presidential palace in Santiago Chile. the democratically elected president Salavador Allende died in the rubble sometime after.
In the years that followed Chile was turned into an armed prison where its dictator , general Pinochet, was able to road test savage neo-liberal policies to the applause of his backers in Washington and London.

the rest, you might say is history..

all war criminals OBL, Nixon and Kissinger should stand trial in a court of humanity..my heartfelt sympathies go out to ALL victims of oppression and terror..
