In Latin America, it's usually the "same (US sponsored) just shit", different day.

We'll just make sure the leftists get tossed out, run their economies through shocks and austerity plans, and prop up oppressive right wing dictators using SOA-trained thugs and torturers. Room for the IRI to get involved too.

The plot's so predictable it's boring.
