Eduardo Galeano. (№ 360495)

11 September 1973, exactly 28 years before the incident last week, took place the storming of the presidential Palace in Chile. Kissinger had written the epitaph of Allende and Chilean democracy long before he commented on the election results: "I see no reason why we should stand by and watch a country become Communist due to the irresponsibility of its own citizens." The disregard for the ordinary people - one of the many things that are common to state and private terrorism. <...> All these merceologici agree on one thing: the desire to reduce social, cultural and national differences to the question of military force. In the name of the struggle between Good and Evil, in the name of real Truth, they first kill and then ask questions. And thus they reinforce the enemy with whom you fight.
