The people of the untied states are wonderful if ever you ahve met them you will know why. That then begs the question of why is their goverment so evil. In the year 2000 Ecuador changed form thier own currency to the US dollar. An exchange rate was set so that the people oculd cash in thier local currecy and change it to Us dollars. What happened was after that it quickly changed so that people got a very small amount of dollars for the loacl currency. I think it ended up being 20 times less than the original exchange rate. People in Ecuador lost thier houses and businesses. To me that is real terrorism rob poor people of the basic things they have. I was in Ecuador 2 years ago and always made the point that I was British for obvious reasons. Most People In The United States do not even know that this happened and would be sickened if they did, and most people in the world do not know this happened.
It is time for everyone to rise up agianst the evil policies of the united states. Including thier own citizens. South america has a track record of the united states do all kinds of damage. If people could help me to know the track record of the united states governemnt I would be most interested. Especially in Colombia
