What about those who think that the United States is a colonial power? Are they "idiots" too?

No they are liars known as communists.

So would that include the majority of the Ecuadorian population which wishes the United States military off their soil? And if so, do they have the right as communist liars to self-determination? Or, because they are communist liars, are their wishes less important than those of the United States?

The bottom line is that if the majority of the population of Ecuador doesn't want the US military in their country, what justification is there for staying past the lease expiration? Answer: none.

Personally I don’t give a crap what most Ecuadorians want. I only care about American interests. If most Ecuadorians support anti-American communists, then they are my enemies and I don’t want them to get what they want.
