same old song different band. Its hard to understand why WE tend to get involved in south america. we did it before as in panama.. we first courted noreiga ... then took him out..

many leaders are wary of being too close to the US, for similar tactics.. remember Sadamm and Osama.. we were friends with them when they did things for us.. Osama helped kill russians for Us and Sadamm helped kill Iranians for us.


US has that reputation..

Latin american leaders / warlords wont trust us anymore like that.

Colombia however has cocaine on its side as the conduit for the US to have their tenticales involved.

recently the US was harassing Venezuela ( for what ever reason...OIL...??) It did not work...

MY theory.....

America is strong when there is Chaos elsewhere....

Latin America CAN be as strong as the US , IF they were to unite and become the united states of Latin America..

thats kinda hard.. look at all the billionares in Latin America.. too many to give in..

Latin america has more real estat than the US, Latin America has Panama, oil , many natural resources..

much potential..

think tanks.. like the RAND corporation establish policy that benifits USA, they create models for the future..

right now the interest is the Middle East.. but they do have Latin America on the back burner..

If Colombia had no drug problems.. the us (we) would find some other reason to have involvement militarely.

Aslo the US needs to practice at warefare, otherwise we cannot be ready for war.. training, experience comes from the wars we get involved in. new weapon technology, human training.. ie. tricks of the trade..

its dirty, very dirty to be the world leader.. and many suffer for it.

Will Latin America ever bounce back as a technology leader as in the ancient times? potentially yes.. predictably no..


Is is possible for the wealthy in latin america to unify Latin America with a no-flip flop scenario.. yes..

the trick is to get them in a single room with promises that no one will be murdered..

being wealthy in Latin America is different than the US millionares..


same old song..... different band...
