A DEATH TO REMEMBER TODAY

[Pocho]

30 years ago today, September 11, 2003, the government of Chili was overthrown by the United States, and Dr. Salvador Allende, the nation's popularly elected president, died. The following link is to a site commemorating this man and those events. http://www.neravt.com/left/allende.htm . Details of the culpability of the US government are given in its own words at this link: http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/ciachile.htm .



One reaps what one sows, or as stated by another great slain leader, Malcolm X, "The chickens will come home to roost"

1. And yet Pinochet still lives.

Never brought to trial. Thanks for the reminded of this, Pocho.

2. AND NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER PASSING.

Anna Lindh, Sweden's foreign minister, died today of knife wounds at the hands of an assassin.

Quite a date this September 11.

Could that cackling in the underbrush be yet more chickens seeking a route home?

3. This is interesting

She was pegged to be the next prime minister. A Social Democrat who called Bush 'The Lone Ranger'.

Just got up here in Seattle (it's 5:25) - always come to DU first for my news.

Oh, what a tragedy for Sweden (and the world). Terrible news. Damn it!
