"September howls still chilling their double balance Everything happens one day by such hatred. And the same angel that in Chile there was bombing President sees the two towers with thousands falling unforgettably " (*)
Inolvidablemente.
fue.Clavado is so in memory.
Of those anniversaries that do not require notice, because they are rooted in the conscience or because all this talk about the previous days.
I do not know how many people were aware that September 11 was the bloodiest attack in Chile that overthrew President Allende, to install a long horror of persecution, torture, silence ... an unfortunate story that is told over and over again in our hit Latin America.
But I know that millions around the world remind us that September 11 "fallen towers." We breakfasted
image thick white smoke rising in foamed outrageous anger, bubbling madness from those buildings that should be untouchable.
We saw ad nauseam, ad nauseam. Were repeated for hours, days, months, replicated accompanying stories of dedicated firefighters of New York, stories of survivors, neoleyendas photo found in the ruins, speeches of leaders, opportunists, messiah ... all gathered in front of an adhesive the amazement of the evidence.
I recently did an exercise, rather a game with a group of teachers, showing a succession of images on a video of Linkin Park. Then they were asked to jot down everything they could remember of what is seen. 90%, in the list, put "twin towers" when in reality what they saw was the image of a demolition.
It has been so persistent and so intrusive message that until we see where even they are.
Yo, I admit, I do not remember the date that the U.S. bombed Iraq, with the complacency and silence of many governments, they were horrified and sympathized that during the 9-11 tragedy. I have no mental images smoke in Iraq, their children destroyed as worthless toys, their wives sobbing with their foreheads resting on charred walls of the pain of irreparable rupture. It "was not" on TV, there were no masses, or moments of silence, or posthumous monuments of light in empty space.
When the two planes, loaded with blind hatred, it must be said rammed towers ... bubble burst, fired more than a murderer fire, dislocated and put upside down the very meaning of the number crystallized around 9-11, the number savior, the SOS series of good and diligent police officers and helped build a new myth, a new flag agitar.Plantaron scaffolding for new excuses to justify who knows what new invasions.
And of course, our day loaded teacher.
What is 11? " The day of the twin towers " says eight out of ten kids (I ask this same young Chileans, just for curiosity how many out of ten, I will say that the day the coup overthrew Allende ...)
True, Sarmiento is not nice or marketer. Teachers' Day is a bizarre mixture of grupete of "breasts" that September 11 and pizzerias crammed racks, with union claims. A mixture of concepts star (hits, ethereal, beyond confrontation) with challenges to the role, task, title, exercise ... Teacher's Day is a civic celebration. It is not a democratic nor a happy celebration of the word. (Pen, the sword.)
In fact we separated, from within the profession, hygienically, stupidly, on the day of the teacher's teacher.
But what the hell ... I want the September 11th remains the day of the teacher, not the day of the towers!
course, I understand that my desire is doomed to fail most miserably. Will I have a vocation for a number of proposals that touch sterility.
But if it's desires ... I also want to let me count the pains of the people of New York. If we are to mourn dead unfair llorésmolos everyone. Everyone ... everyone.
At 3 thousand of the towers, the 35 thousand creatures, that same 9-11 died of hunger in the world, the hundred thousand? "Six hundred thousand? A million? killed in Iraq ... (when the amount will be considered sufficient?)
face of such figures, confirmation and a corollary of human stupidity, the debate in Argentina on the timing are chosen coincident with the deaths of the characters memorable, (not life) is almost anecdotal. And in
plan to ask the impossible:
... would like the September 11 has taught you something to Chile, and that learning does not give up because he has paid dearly
that 11
... September has been taught something to the United States, ice hit in the kidney of pampered city, which serves to warn and sisters, and not increase the locks. More locks are useless if the thief is inside your own home.
... that on 11 September in Argentina, is still remembered as the day the teacher, a day for gratitude and memory.
