Si le van a matar a toda tu familia, ve que sus padres estan aterrorizados y las balas llueven en la calle, las ambulancias ya no dan a basto pa recojer heridos y muertos, Parece Vietnam por los helicopreros que pasan volando con las puertas abiertas ametrallando a los franco tiradores en los techos de los edificios, Cuantas vidas se perdieroh ahi?<BR/>Nunca lo sabremos pero si que queda grabado para el resto de su vida.<BR/>Al igual que el Nuevo 9/11/2001Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557989620377714260.post-91726374323378766312007-09-11T13:16:00.000-04:002007-09-11T13:16:00.000-04:00Lis,Gracias por la visita.<I>Lis,</I><BR/>Gracias por la visita.Lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03508658584842178125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557989620377714260.post-68554480743048158922007-09-11T13:14:00.000-04:002007-09-11T13:14:00.000-04:00Hola Lilian:Pienso que esta fecha no solamente afe...Hola Lilian:<BR/>Pienso que esta fecha no solamente afecta a los americanos (USA), si no tambien a mucha gente en Chile, asi es que este es un dia de mucho dolor, sin razon, sin color.<BR/>LisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557989620377714260.post-21999334925557369252007-09-11T10:35:00.000-04:002007-09-11T10:35:00.000-04:00Dear Mila,I know you were much closer to this situ...<I>Dear Mila,</I><BR/>I know you were much closer to this situation than many, therefore, this anniversary is deeper inside of you than the rest of us, who although shocked by the events, did not see the horrors of this tragedy in front of us. I thank so much for sharing your thoughts, I know it's difficult. Actually, this is the first time I talk about it myself; I used to prefer to avoid it.<BR/><BR/>You are so right: "it did not break us", and life continues...<BR/><BR/>Un abrazo!Lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03508658584842178125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557989620377714260.post-19939276633404738312007-09-11T10:12:00.000-04:002007-09-11T10:12:00.000-04:00Lilian,It took me a few minutes to compose myself ...Lilian,<BR/>It took me a few minutes to compose myself before I could write. The poems were beautiful. All I could think was that this is the first year since then that I did not have nightmares that used to begin a few weeks before the anniversary which would have me screaming. The first time. I am so grateful that I did not have to relive the whole thing again.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to thank you for bringing up the point that Islam is a peaceful religion. Nowhere in the Qu'ran does it mention these types of attacks being ok. I know, because I have read it. The Qu'ran is a poem. It is beautiful. It is a celebration of God, life, and love. The extremists, who represent a very small minority, are using other so-called holy texts that do condone acts of violence and murder--but not the Qu'ran. <BR/><BR/>In true Islam, men are taught to treat their women like queens. Women are to be placed on a pedestal. They are not to be trodden upon or treated like second class citizens. <BR/><BR/>When we look at the Christian Bible, we are taught that Jesus spent a lot of time with the sinners. He wasn't hanging out with only the saintly people. He led by example. He taught that love was the most important thing there is.<BR/><BR/>All of these religions teach love and peace. They teach us to be non judgmental--judging is for a being much greater than we. We are the ones who have taken the words of all these holy men and women and turned them into justification for hate and killing.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I will never forget that terrible day. It affected me at some elemental level and changed me forever. Whether the person was in NYC or here in Arica, I haven't spoken to a single person who was left untouched by the events of that day. We all know exactly where we were and what we were doing. We all felt something--even the monsters who did it who felt joy--and I think that connects all of us more than we know.<BR/><BR/>We all have our stories of that day--some dramatic, some not so dramatic, but almost all traumatic, because it happened in the west. It touched a nerve in all of us; we no longer felt safe in our "civilized" countries. It shook and rocked us at our very foundations, yet it did not break us. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your story, Lilian. <BR/><BR/>Un abrazo,<BR/>MilaMilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750713418660755373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557989620377714260.post-1256951325994832902007-09-11T10:00:00.000-04:002007-09-11T10:00:00.000-04:00Sergio,"Pasaste" rapido pero dijiste harto en poca...<I>Sergio,</I><BR/>"Pasaste" rapido pero dijiste harto en pocas palabras.
