No one is going to remember every event that happened on every date of every year past. Especially not when this "war against terrorism" directly affects everyone right now.

Significant or Insignificant - shit happens, and people will choose to remember or be informed of whatever they choose, right or wrong.
Regardless, you're right. The CIA killing of Salvador Allende and following rule of Pinochet is a great fact to throw out in Septemeber 11th 2001 related conversation and debate.

I can't imagine what I would be doing had I not discovered politics.

I don't think it's so much people choosing to remember something, it's the exclusion of other things not American by the media.
I make a point of this because what the CIA did was terrorism and it was an event much worse than what happened in New York.
