>Walter Walter Walter - I have missed something. Maybe you can sort it out for me. Which country in South America did the evil Americans invade and occupy and convert to the American way of life? (You may skip the diatribe about businesses and oil companies and what they are doing. That's business. In business nothing happens until both sides agree.)

And it the other side doesn't, it can be replaced with one that will. It happened so many times already.

I'm just watching how they go cooking up the unsuspecting public to accept the fait accompli and even applaud them when they pinochetize Chavez. If NPR and BBC are spitting such venom not just every day, but on a daily basis, I can not begin to imagine what does FauxNews do.

And it's so hard to keep colonies, and so much easier to prop up a West Point graduate as a generalissimus. If they were so deeply infused with ideals of liberty and independence while learning in the High School of Warfare, why have so many of them become dictators or dictators' henchmen?
