i don't disagree with you vexx, but eventually the whole it is the US fault is going to wear out. Other South American countries like Argentina and Chile had US back strongman in charge in 70s and most of the 80s but has pretty much put that in the past and has move on to a imperfect but still much more democratic society the countries like Venezuela, Bolivia and Peru.
