Another 9-11
Death came from the skies as a building that was a symbol of a nation collapsed in flames from a terrorist act and over 3,000 people died. It was September 11, thirty years ago today that the United States trained and sponsored the terrorists that killed the democratically elected President of their country, Dr. Salvador Allende Gossens and proceeded to murder tens of thousands in the next few days. All in the name of installing the pro-US dictatorship headed by a butcher known as Gen. Augusto Pinochet.
Well said and worth paraphrasing: today, as the ruling class tries to co-opt the hearts and minds of the people in the US by rerunning the tragic events at the World Trade Center, we must remember the other Sept. 11 and who sponsored it as well. That Sept. 11 demonstrates that if humanity is to go forward, imperialism must be defeated once and for all. More on the other Sept. 11 at: Worker’s World.
