It was a moment that ignited Latin America once again. The attempted coup against the democratically elected President Rafael Correa of Ecuador seemed reminiscent of previous coups that destabilized past democracies.
Reid Campbell the U.S might very well be behind this failed coup. It hard to believe that the U.S is still running the School of Americas—school that trained so many cold blood killers in Latin America. I think though those days are over. It is interesting that to see that leaders of Latin America quickly put their weight behind the democratic elected government of Raphael Correa. I think the United States is a bully and it does not know how to win alliances through means other than military violence and that is the reason the U.S has lost support among ordinary people in Latin America. Is the U.S going to change its aggressive ways? I do not think so.
I did not right the comment at the top. But since I´m in here I might add that being from the US and having lived in a latin american country for the last 14 years I´ve noticed that in the country I live in, like most latin american countries, about 80+% of the population exist on 1% of the money.( Kinda like where the US might be heading if the people dont wake up soon). When a president comes along who ACTUALLY tries to help the people it scares the heck out of the people who have all the money and they will do anything to protect that money. Unfortunatly the rich people who run the US will support such a coup as they see it a threat to themselves as well. And if someone doesnt start supporting some kind of population control down here things will only get worse. RC
To state that the generals leading the coup were trained in the US is misleading. You make it sound like they were trained in the US to perticipate in this coup. Thousands of officers from latin american countrys are trained in the US every year, if they go back to their prospective countries, become generals and attempt a coup it can hardly be because of the training they recieved when they were junior officers. I will say though that the power elite in the US will always support their elite brethren in any country and use their media and influence to help those elite maintain or regain their power. Allowing the people to actually be in control of a country could eventually lead to problems in their own oligarchy.
