Disturbing developments in Latin America. Hopefully, President Bush is paying attention. Reading down the page, this website has links to some thought provoking stories and articles.

BUMP!

"Who Lost Latin America?"

I didn't realize it was missing ...

Come on, you guys ... 'fess up! Who lost Latin America? Did it fall out of your pockets or did you just set it down and forget where you put it?!

[Willie Green]

As one noted Latin American analyst, Constantine Menges, stated the question that now presents itself is, “Who lost Latin America”?

Spain.

Next question please.

I still don't see why the US just doesn't fund the assasination of Hugo Chavez.

I don't support assasination except for terrorists, but your idea of deposing Chavez in another coup before he assumes total control in a planned bloodbath for his by now well-known enemies is a good one.

For those who lack historical perspective, the title appears to reframe a question asked by anti-Communist conservatives in America half a century ago after the Communists conquereed mainland China which was, "Who lost China"? The answer to the rhetorical question posed by the title of the article seems to point to the Bush Administration or perhaps someone in it as being responsible for having lost Brazil to Marxist control.

It was an accident! I swiped the locks off the Panama Canal, and Latin America just . . . . drifted.

"Who Lost Latin America?"

As with most every other foreign and domestic policy disasters of the 90s, it was the sinkmeister. He's a pinko himself, and his wife even more so, therefore why should we be surprised that the Reds have mad inroads in our backyard after 8 years of his TLC of America's and freedom's enemies.

I knew I should have changed the locks when I left. Geez, ya can't trust nobody anymore.

The site appears to be just a regergiation of Buchanan.

Most of the articles are writte as this one: have you noticed that not only it fails to answer the question posed in the title but never even addressed it. That too is the style of Buchanan's writing and a weakness.

Few arguments, mostly a restatement of certain fact presented in a biased, anti-Bush manner.

Nothing much to be learned from this source.

I just looked, and Latin America wasn't there. OTOH, it wasn't in the usual spot - under the couch cushions - for lost things around here either, so I'm stumped. I'm going to put up some flyers later this afternoon, and if I get any tips, I'll post them here...

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS REGION RECENTLY?
PLEASE CALL IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE LOCATION OF LATIN AMERICA.

It's always in the last place you look.

Funny how that works, huh? ;)

The Latin Americans?

So really, what can be done? It isn't our fault that all Latin countries seem inept for self-rule -- we barely manage self-rule ourselves!

"Damned if you do, damned if you don't". Do we bump off a few dictators and suffer international condemnation, or wait until all Latin America is Communized and hostile against us?
