Indeed, you can pick almost any Central American or South American
country and find that the U.S. has tried to, or succeeded in taking
control by non-democratic means, founding a coup, or in some cases
direct military intervention. Now they've expanded to the Middle East
and invaded Iraq. Over extending themselves, parts of Latin America
are beginning to break free and establish democracies, like Venezuela
and Bolivia.

Venezuela a democracy? With EL PRESIDENTE POR LA VIDA? With dictatorial
powers, where ANY dissent in the media is a capital crime?
Where now all the media AND means of communications are essentially in ONE
MAN'S hands? THAT is what you think is democracy?
