In Chile, September 11th is synonymous with another terrorist act:

My question to the list is, given that the United States and probably many
of its allies have been involved in state sponsored terrorism in the past,
should these governments be prepared to get involved to make reparations for
past transgressions, and if so, what possibly can be done, and should
individuals be tried for their role? If so, who?
This post is not intended to be an indictment of any government, it is
simply to me a question of ethics. How far should those involved in
sponsoring terrorism at the time be brought to account? Does the current
bush administration have a moral duty to attempt to bring those involved to
justice, and would this be a role for the international court? What would
the effect on the current coalition (or lack of it) be if this were to
happen and convictions established?
If anyone wishes to engage in debate about this, I would ask that it be kept
as a seperate issue from the current flamefests. This to me is a dilema of
morality as opposed to foreign policy.
Kind Regards
Dylan.
