9/11

[perlmonger]

It hadn't occured to me, but September 11th 1973 was the date of the US-orchestrated overthrow of Salvador Allende's democratically elected government in Chile.

My reminder came via a wonderful remembrance of that particularly ignoble moment (in a long history of ignobility) of US foreign policy at Creek Running North.

Read it.

And maybe put a wager on how long before the same happens in Venezuela.
