This year marks the 20th anniversary of the macabre attack on September 11, 2001 (in the United States).- We could say that after that threatening event, the world has come together to react through international security forces, to make sure that such phenomenon is shut down and controlled with all the possible capacities.- Clearly, that consent of the dictatorial regime of Venezuela deserves to be declared, also by the United States, as a country that promotes terrorism. And that declaration should not only aim to reveal their conniving and pernicious relationship, but (should also force them) to choose their path between continuing to support terrorism or hand over terrorism to the authorities of the countries that are looking for it.
