..."For a fee, former guerrillas will take visitors"<br /><br />'teamed up with local business leaders to create the so-called "peace route."'<br /><br />I love it when enterprising individuals get together to promote a good or service, fatten their own wallets, create employment,and generally increase the well-being of the community.<br /><br />Goes to shown that tourism is promoted by enterprise, not by some stupid and wasteful Saca-created ministry.El-Visitadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823897085882597971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177745.post-83769415392937881092007-01-04T11:39:00.000-06:002007-01-04T11:39:00.000-06:00I still believe Salvadoran society is extremely po...I still believe Salvadoran society is extremely polarized, it is just a miracle that the guerrillas aren't gathering around the mountains (perhaps thanks to remesas). But for example, if you dare read Diario de Hoy, you'd get the impression as if that dreaded newspaper (they helped death squads identify syndicate leaders, and other targets) was stuck in the 80s, with their constant "communist" tripe. Both a rallying cry against the "guerrillas" and a reminisce of the good all days... when the military and death squads were buthcering peasants and the coffeecultures were living their glory days of thousands of peasants breaking their backs for them...<br /><br />Another example would be during the death of Pinochet. ARENA and PCN both made a moment of silence for them, but FMLN, CD and I believe PDC left the premises, and they were battered down with "You coward communists! You get back here!". El Salvador, IMO is still stuck in the past, specially the fascist right-wingers, mind not evolved...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177745.post-57036634147297376032007-01-03T23:21:00.000-06:002007-01-03T23:21:00.000-06:00Perquuin, museo de la palabra and such has been ar...Perquuin, museo de la palabra and such has been around since the end of the war in 92, ONly in 92-96 were salvadorans slowly creeping out into the countryside again to get a view of the war they never had.<br />Hopefully, the world will be open to learning about how Radio Venceremos took down Monterrosa's copter *)<br />-<br />LAs Mil y Unas Historias de Radio Venceremos.via Rebel Radio.<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/yy2bu7<br /><br />Read that and take your own Tour of Northern Morazan IMHO.<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/te5qa<br /><br />http://www.perquin.org/history.html<br /><br />without the above Hx.<br /><br />Salvy would be another Haiti.<br />The polarization is not as intense as before, time will tell..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
