September 11

September 11, 1973.

31 years ago.

I was 3 years old, my mum was expecting my sister.

My dad was a journalist...soon he will be sucked.

My uncle was a young priest...soon he will be organizing Human Right movement: Solidaridad

All our lifes change.

I don't remember, but my olders told me that planes surround the air.
From my house we could listen the bombs.

In the radio the democratic president make a speech defending democracy.
Lots died that day.
More than 5.000 die the next 19 years.

Torture, murder, censure, persecution.

A military goverment in the name of liberty.

C.I.A give the money.
C.I.A train our militars.
C.I.A in the name of liberty.
C.I.A in the name of democracy.

It was a sad day for us 31 years ago, is a sad day for us today.

I despized terrorism in all its form.

I found you through WIKTT (which explains why this weird chick is randomly showing up on your LJ) and your 9/11 post made me curious . . . what happened in Chile on 9.11.73? I am seriously cursing my lack of South American history knowledge at the moment . . .

Wow. And the amazing thing is, I never heard so much as a peep about it (any of it) when I was in school.

I hate governments. *sigh*

I have 100 Years of Solitude on one of my "to be read" shelves. I will have to move it up the list.

May I add you as a friend? You may add me if you wish.
