Chavez will not be sworn in on inauguration day

[Judi Lynn]

17. Trying to cling to the primative, power-mad, murderous, greedy, racist imperialism

that has been in place from the time after the genocide of the Native Americans, when they turned their ulcerous eyes to the other people to subjugate in the hemisphere isn't the way to go, and was dead wrong all the time it has been our national policy.

_{George W. Bush} was totally wrong in all his actions toward Latin America, that's why they rioted everywhere he went in Latin America in his travel. Everywhere.

For anyone to keep hanging onto something so ugly, so wrong as our earlier deadly policy shows a lowness of spirit and disposition this country doesn't need in the 21st Century. It only causes ill will, hatred, and suspicion, just like the kind shown to Richard Nixon when he made his ridiculous tour of Caracas in 1958, and he was protested everywhere by everyone who saw his motorcade barging past him.

It's time our right-wingers got over seeing the Americas as the U.S.'s backyard, where we can get cheap labor, cheap produce, where we can plunder their natural resources, overthrow their leaders, and commit atrocities against the people who protest it. That way is doomed to failure, and it makes the supporters of this policy look like monsters, assholes, and idiots.

Thanks for your great, informed comments on Latin America.
