...whose LatAm policy has had me tearing my hair out, with its screechingly offensive rhetoric, continued Bushwhack infusion of billions of our tax dollars into fascist causes, Pentagon strutting around with its hubristic "Southern Command," the CIA-FBI-DEA-AFT-Homeland Security skulking around looking for Iranians (Diebold Congress bill just signed by Obama) when they aren't shooting indigenous families from State Department helicopters, support of fascist coup governments in Honduras and Paraguay (with egregious human rights violations occurring in Honduras--murder, torture, unjust imprisonment, of labor union leaders and other advocates of the poor, and journalists), and more, much more, and, of course, the continued corrupt, murderous, failed U.S. "war on drugs" spreading evil, in quantum leaps, wherever it goes.
Might as well have Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld in charge, as for Obama Latin American policy--or I should say, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Drummond Coal, Chiquita, Monsanto and Dyncorp, et al--the planet-killers, rapers of democracy and war profiteers who control the use of our tax dollars in LatAm, no matter which party appears to be elected, here, by Diebold/ES&S.
So the Obama administration doing the right thing is refreshing, and way startling. The shits who are currently trying to destroy Argentina's economy, and literally grab food out of the mouths of poor children and schoolbooks out of their hands and the shoes off their feet, in order to stuff more billions into their own filthy pockets, ought to be in jail or doing community service penance. They spurned Argentina's orderly debt settlement and laid in wait like the human vultures they are, to pick at the carcasses of the hungry and the homeless. I was worried, with good reason, that the Obama administration would support this extremely evil billionaire's lawsuit. I am very glad that they have not done so--but I'm afraid that we cannot expect the U.S. doing the right thing in Latin America to become a trend. This is a billionaires vs billionaires situation--the orderly banksters, usurers and debt-collectors vs the scofflaws, with the Obama administration siding with the orderly have's. Doesn't mean any of it is right or fair. Long story about U.S. control of third world governments so the banksters can bleed them dry, going back decades. But at least the Obama administration is not using this situation, as the Bushwhacks would have, to create chaos ("shock and awe" bombing of the economy to bludgeon the people and their leaders into obedience and slavery).
Step #1 in the right direction. The Obama administration has a LONG road to go, to come anywhere close to doing the right thing in Latin America.
