An investment in a place without the rule of law is just foolhardy.
It was not an ‘investment’. The man moved there and started a family, built a ranching empire and wants nothing more than to live out his remaining days in a land he considers home.
The back story not reported is that the ranches are in an area rich in natural gas, and Evil Evo really just wants to get his hands on the gas under the land, not the land itself. Using the Indians is a clever ploy to confiscate the land for the mineral and energy wealth.
This thread is about Bolivia, not Obama’s America.
