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.

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 hate the terrorism that came from them.
Not the Latinamerican history is one for text books, we are USA backyard. Try Latinamerican literature, for example magical realism, 100 years of loneliness, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a good example of it.

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.
