overthrow the government. I see that was never mentioned in this article nor is it ever mentioned as a US backed coup in the rantings from chavista fanatical types.

The Ecuador incident was an internal matter. A discontent police force who blundered into trying to arrest or do whatever with Correa. It only increased Correa's popularity as people rallied around him.

Paraguay and Lugo: The deadly shootout was the final straw in Lugo's reign given the deaths on both sides. He was impeached legally including by all but one of his own party.
