(his own personal huge hacienda and compnay), and with Guatemala (United Fruit Co. vs. Arbaenz). The Contras in Nicaragua...<br /><br />For example. If USA was serious against the war on drugs, they'd stop supporting the colombian government which has the backing of cartels and about 90% of the cocaine/marijuana trafficking, money laundery, shell company operations, and consider backing up the FARCs. In El Salvador, if they really want to stop migration, USA could stop supporting ARENA, leak to the international community all the "covered up" wrong doings of ARENA leaders, have Interpol freeze their bank accounts and make sure a progressive non-feudal leader comes to power in El Salvador to address the poverty issues that drive the 12 murders a day, 100s of migrating salvadorans a day, remittance dependency economy. But I guess one can only dream. ;)<br /><br />So this drives me to the conclusion... Capitalism makes a whore out of everyhting. So either the Cuban Mafia in Miami-Lousiana-Vegas became to $$$ to make sure US Latin American policy remains unchanged for the following century, or transnationals just want cheap labor back home and easily exploitable markets abroad...<br /><br /><br />Here is what I read about Colombia, btw:<br /><br />http://www.afn.org/~iguana/archives/2001_01/20010113.html<br /><br />It seems like the cycle is: mafia-privatize,privatize... instability, migrate, migrate...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
