[thechat] the other 9-11

Hi all:

My hearted condolences to the members who lost loved ones last year.

Some of you know spanish, here's an interesting review of what happened
this same day, the year 1073 in my country (chile). I wasn't born at
that time, but still it has had a huge impact in my life. I'm reafing
the chronology now, and am feeling strong emotions while reading
informatio i wansn't aware of before. I wish more of you could cross the
language barrier :(

In case you have no clue of what I'm talking about, that day our own
military forces bombed the government house, the president had trusted
his newly designeted milirary chief (Pinochet) even up to that same
morning. The soldiers offered an escape airplane for the president
several times, he insisted in staying where the electors had sent him.
his last reply to their offering was 'who do you think your taking to,
betrayer!'
