>Sorry, but unfortunatelly I'm not kidding. Below I listed some events that think help to support my statement:

>1946-U.S. opens School of the Americas in Panama. Now located in Fort Benning, Georgia, the "School of the Assassins" has taught over 60,000 personnel from some of the worlds most brutal regimes how to subvert the truth, to muzzle union leaders, activist clergy, and journalists, and to make war on their own people.
>
>1951-CIA is involved in a coup to overthrow nationalist primeminister Dr. Muhammed Mossadeq in Iran. Supports Iranian military in massacre of Mossadeq supporters and returns the Shah Reza Pahlevi to power. In 1976, Amnesty International concluded that the Shah's CIA-trained security force, SAVAK, had the worst human rights record on the planet, and that the number and variety of torture techniques the CIA had taught SAVAK were "beyond belief."
>
>1963-CIA recruits Iraqi Baath Party (including a young Saddam Hussein) to assasinate the new leader, Abdul-Karim Kassem. After the coup, the CIA gave the Baath a long list of communists and others to liquidate. During the 1980s the CIA would go on to help provide weapons to both Iraq and Iran in a war that would kill over one million people.
>
>1973-­After interfering in Chilean elections in 1958 and 1964, the CIA begins a campaign of sabotage and terror after leftist Salvadore Allende is elected president in 1970. In 1973, a CIA supported coup overthrew and assassinated Allende and installed fascist General Pinochet, resulting in thousands of murders over the next two decades. This year former U.S. secretary of state, Henry Kissinger was served an order from a French court to answer for his role in the coup.

>Till now we can hear the echoes of what the US sponsored in Iran and Iraq (two members of what the US calls the "axis of evil").

Fernando;

I could write books on what follows. There are thousands of books others have created on the subjects I present below.

Questions that arise in South American politics: Should we simply assassinate the president, have a barracks revolt, junta, civil war, revolution, invade a near by country or have an election? The most risky can be an election. Then the military will ultimately decide whom it wants for president. What the people want means little or nothing.

Whatever you do in South American politics, do not be honest, help your nation and bring stability. You will upset the corrupt members of society and the military. Soon people will forget the good things a leader accomplished and want to go back into the “dark ages”, where they feel comfortable.

With a history of two hundred years of political unrest, South America has its own way to meet its political needs. Stability is not one of them. Why don’t the people of South America have the courage to rid themselves of corrupt leaders? Why does South America allow itself to be influenced by anyone, including the United States?

Borrow money from the United States to build infrastructure, hospitals and schools for your country. Instead put the money into a Swiss Bank Account. Do not pay back the loans. Leave the country and enjoy the good life. Then blame the United States for your indebtedness and ask for more money. Continue the cycle indefinitely and be sure to blame the United States.

It is childlike to blame someone else for your actions. Look to home before you criticize others (An old expression). “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”! John 8:7 for reference.
