Remember that September 11th means something different in Chile than in the United States. But both countries suffered assaults on the very roots of Democracy. And in both cases Democracy died for a time. And my heart cries out for the victims of both atrocities.
"I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this gray and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Keep in mind that, sooner rather than later, the great avenues will open again and free men will walk through them to construct a better society. Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers!"
- Salvador Allende, final radio broadcast (11 September 1973)
