Just watched Roma this weekend. Didn't really like the movie but it caused me to look more into Mexico's Dirty War in the 70's...including the US role in supporting the establishment. What a mess that didn't get any attention until the late 90's.

I'm sure there are many more examples that are more familiar to others but these guys are just doing what we've done forever. And of course, Elliot Abrams is somewhere in the middle of this crap.

imperialist crap. Jamaica was not spared and we're still dealing with the divisions and hte guns.
Why - like Venezuela and their oil, we introduced a bauxite levy.
