It is remarkable, I think, that the NY Times ran no feature story on 9/11
in the US except for an op ed piece on the same day when the President went
before the nation to argue
for more military action against another police/murdering state and a
magical series of
international diplomatic arrangements put the brakes on the process of
escalating violence
so that he did not have to be rebuffed by his constituents. But Chile
remembers.

The older I get, the curiouser and curiouser the world seems.
