Presidente Correa is evidently good for something.
On another note, many members of New Jersey's large Ecuadorian community are trying like hell to get into Spain and Italy, so that they can earn their under the table money in Euros.

Ecuador is slowly going the way of Venezuela. Maybe deporting the 400,000 Ecuadoran illegals here could make a difference.

With the recent election of Rafael Correa, Ecuador has joined the “Axis of Hugo.”

End the Drug War. NOW. To everyone who complains that the Democrats are so draconian in their philosophy, I would remind you that you lost more rights in the drug war than any Democrat has ever taken from you through taxes, legislation, or executive power.

Sounds like a really good idea for them economically, trade a little of the US military money for whole bunch of drug money.

Ecuador - just another Rice foreign policy success story to go along with her prior successes in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Brazil.

That’s the kind of thing a person without the intellectual cajones for a coherent argument would naturally say. I can easily defend my statement. Can you?

The official currency of Ecuador is the U.S. Dollar and there is little if any production of cocaine in Ecuador.

A sad reality is that our emphasis in Latin/South America has declined over the years while our adversaries have largely united and gained in momentum with a reemerging Russian bear standing behind them. But none of this is news worthy, EXCEPT if they can twist this into being because of Iraq and Bush’s fault; then MSNBC or CBS might run a story.
Politically the “domino theory” may it be in South East Asia after we withdrew from Vietnam, the Middle East today, the fall of the wall in 1989 and the shattering of the East block, the breaking apart of the former Soviet Republics, or South America; it holds true! Cuba, Venezuela, and the dynamics of a more affluent, more aggressive Russia change the dynamics in South America and like domino's, the smaller fringe states quickly align themselves with “whomever” they see as being the power brokers because they want regime preservation and are largely buy-able and corrupt at the most senior levels to almost unimaginable degree.

ping to losing advantageous location where we have based some of our fight on terrorism and it’s financial support. Announced at a pro Cuba rally.

Blame Rice?She'd get credit for the successes (were there any) so she should get blame for the failures (which are many).

She’s an employee. That’s like saying a bank teller should get credit for your low interest rate.

You are a certifiable idiot.
Turn off the drug war and regions of South America will turn into anarchy. It is exactly things like School of the Americas, our DEA and DoD efforts in Columbia, financial aid packages to some of these governments that is keeping a resemblance of normalcy and some stability in some of these places.
