The Presidential Palace in Santiago de Chile was stormed on Sept 11th,
1973. This marked the Start of a coup with American backing to overthrow the Democratically elected Popular unity government of Salvador Allende. Over 30,000 people died then and later under pinochets regime as a result of this, many under hideous torture and in summery executions. From: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au...E12272,00.html "On September 11, 1973, two US-built jets attacked the official residence of another head of state, in Santiago, Chile. As the presidential palace went up in flames, so did a century of Chilean democracy. This terrorist attack led to the death of the country's democratically elected leader. The military junta that took over killed 3100 people, almost exactly the number that perished in the barbarities of last September 11." And It was Henry Kissenger Who directed it all.

Many things actually happened on the 11th of September.
On the 11th of September, 1893, the Parliament of World Religions was organized at the World's Fair in Chicago, with the intent of bringing together leaders of the world's religions to promote inter-religious understanding. Sad that the spirit of this event was never promoted further... And if I'm not mistaken, September 11th 1492 was also the day when a certain Mr Christopher Columbus arrived at the shores of the American continent.

I suppose I can sympathise with you to some extent, but don't you reckon we can also learn important lessons from history? If we don't remember the past, might we not repeat it?...

I know thats a quote, or close to it anyway. Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. I just cant remember where it comes from and I know that I know it, really aggravating. Sod it.
