. ca... In article , says... Anyone else noticed the odd coincidence of the NYC atrocity with Amerikkka's cynical destruction of Chile's elected government to be replaced by military dictatorship? Also the toll there was around 3,000.... Karma, man, karma........ Only 3000 died in Chile during the CIA coup and subsequent generation-long military dictatorship? Seems on the low side to me. Hmmm. Karma is right I suppose. John |

BBC site gives 3000 for the death toll *during the CIA coup itself*. http://www.memoriaviva.com/Desaparecidos/list.htm gives a list of 1197 named 'disappeared' people during Pinochet's vile reign, which, let's repeat it, only happened because "The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves." "I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people." (both from good ole Henry Kissinger, though you could be forgiven for suspecting they would be from someone wearing a Hakenkreuz!) http://www.trentu.ca/~mneumann/pinochet.html gives some specimens of his malodorous regime's US-supported torture activities. Not for the faint-hearted. Personally I suspect you might well be able to add a zero to that 3000 figure but I haven't been able to find anything authoritative. Maybe nobody knows. Sad. John |

If Mr Mullen is so cutesy-smart, perhaps he can explain why 3000-plus
perishing in the avoidance of (yet another) Leftist totalitarian country are not an acceptable tradeoff for the 100,000,000 or so who have died under Communist control. Especially since those who went by the board in Chile were Communists, fellow travelers, pre-Sandalistas, and intelligence operatives from Cuba or the USSR. Like we've some especially troubling shortage of the intellectual idiots who support Leftish policy -- even at this late date. John Mullen wrote: "John Mullen" wrote in message ...

Mr. Mullen is not really all that smart, since he appears to be a politician. Whom we have to explain once per day to their zero-IQ minds, that there is no such thing as an elected government. There are elected politicians, with their moronic South American Goverments, retarted German ships, decrepit Pisan Lean-To's, and loser Cuban baseball teams. And then there are people with brains, guns, money, jobs, moon rockets, Winter Olympic Teams that can actually operate a Bob Sled, and Panama Canals. |

Hmmm, when I saw "Other 9/11 anniversary" I thought it was a reference to the Battle of the Brandywine. There's a party trick based on the odds that if there are twenty people in a room, two of them will share the same birthday. The same of course is true of anniversaries. Still, for any American alive in 1941, there is only one December 7, and for any American alive in 2001, only one September 11. One of my September rituals is to fly "around the mountains", a very pretty trip. That's what I was doing on 9/11/01 when I was so rudely interrupted www.warbirdforum.com/defcon.htm I tried to finish the trip last September but the weather didn't cooperate. Yesterday was just grand: sunny, no wind, just some mist in the valleys that cleared off while I was refueling at Moultonborough (where I got stuck two years ago). The only sour note was when driving home I realized that the flags were at half-staff. I didn't care for that. Crikey, it wasn't a traffic accident! We didn't lower the flags on 12/7/43. And those who died at Pearl Harbor, Clark Field, etc., didn't spend the second anniversary filing lawsuits against Tojo, the Emperor, Curtiss-Wright, and Mitsubishi. all the best -- Dan Ford email: www.danford.net/letters.htm#9 see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com |

So, are you trying to claim that ****ed of Chileans were behind 911, and not ****ed off Saudis? And I do hope you weren't a fan of Maggie Thatcher, who was actually buddies with Pinochet. tim gueguen 101867 |

So, are you trying to claim that ****ed of Chileans were behind 911, and not ****ed off Saudis? Nah, looks like it would have been Arabian anti-Saudis right enough. Nothing (of course) to do with Iraq. And I do hope you weren't a fan of Maggie Thatcher, who was actually buddies with Pinochet. I never liked either of them, although in a way they were made for each other. Thatch sucked up to Pinochet who she had a natural soft spot for as a fellow right-wing dictator, as he was and she no doubt fantasised about being. He paid back the favour by 'helping' the UK in the Falklands in 82. And she tried to rerepay by speaking out for him when he was arrested (rightly in my view) as the war criminal he is in 98. However, I don't think that is the reason Tony B'Liar helped let him off scot-free. Nor do I think it's because she is probably his major role-model in politics. On-topic; anybody have any good refs for the Chilean forces involved in the coup; I know the AF went with the army against the Govt and imagine the Navy would have as well. Anybody got better info? I have various books that refer to it in passing but no detailed info. John |
