31. Maybe you should study a little bit of the history of US policies towards Latin America

to understand why that entire region deserves an APOLOGY for the decades of suffering under US Backed Dictators like Pinochet, the torture school run right here in the US to help train Dictator Torturers which was very effective.

The ME will one day become what Latin America has finally become, free, independent of Western Colonial Influence.

After the attempt coup back in 2002 of Chavez it was clear that the US was not going to give up its past behavior of installing unwanted, puppet leaders, like Pinochet or helping to topple duly elected leaders and decided it was time for all those oppressed countries to take back their sovereignty and protect their OWN RESOURCES from Global Cartels.

We are in NO position to do anything regarding any democratic leader of a Latin American country other than APOLOGIZE for the role we played in the horrific past crimes committed against them. Henry Kissinger, Death Squads, disappearances, etc all now finally being dealt with as several countries are bringing OUR FORMER ALLIES, the torturers, the murderers, to justice.

We have lost our influence in Latin America but our reaction to their freedom from oppressive puppet dictators demonstrates that WE have not changed our criminal ways and are still trying to re-capture that horrible humans rights abusive past so that we can control, once again, their RESOURCES.

This is the second time the US has insulted a democratically elected leader of a Latin American country.

And it is STUPID. The US has managed to entice some economic interactions with Argentina and Chile eg, but after the NSA spying scandal and the INSULT to Morales, they are no longer willing to trust the US.

Chavez did great work for Latin America to protect the region from a return to the US backed Dictator policies when he created THEIR version of NATO. Now the West can no longer deal with on little country at a time. An insult to ONE of the member states, is an insult to all.

And that is why the West hates Morales and Chavez and Morales and any Latin American leader who believes the own their own resources. That they are NOT sitting on OUR OIL.

This action is petty, stupid, and will have even more negative results for the US piled on all the other childish, silly insults, like a misbehaving child throwing a temper tantrum.

And our policies in the ME will one day have the same effect as those countries, like Latin America decide that THEIR resources also belong to THEM.

Stupid, childish, temper tantrum throwing nonsense only serves to diminish this country's reputation even more in the eyes of the world.
