Why cant we see that these actions are extremely unpopular in Bolivia, across political lines. Even the right wants this guy put to justice. There is zero value in supporting "pro-US" politicians when they have no support in their own country. How does the US plan on making in roads in this country, when we back controversial politicians like this. C'mon pro-business right, can't you at least pick your battles more wisely. They should know better after failing with the Shah, the Somoza dynasty and countless other failed "pro-US" right-wingers with zero popularity in their own countries.
