I know the US played a big role in this rescue and I do have pride in my own nation. BUT... I think Chile can ‘own’ this one in the eyes of the world and more importantly among themselves.

The Americans who discreetly disappeared once the rescue shaft was completed, actually denied Obongo the ability to swoop in and take credit.

I wonder if they did that on purpose, and if they are conservatives.

I hadn't thought of that possibility, although I noted that Americans were conspicuously absent at the scene... I hope that's what happened.
