Allende committed suicide.

But, by all means, turn another thread into a US-bashing party.

12 years ago. Bloody hell.

Must be just my "butthurt," but this seems to be a complete derail of another thread under the pretense of saying "America sucks" or words to that effect. Bravo. Or, maybe it's just that I can't tolerate any criticism of the US.

OK, that's a derail, but a justified one.
