#3 No blood for coke! ;)

Seriously, Bolivia's always either having a revolution, just wrapping one up, or getting one started. I think they've had 130 governments by now. I may be underestimating the number.

It reminds me of one thing my mama told me about Bolivia when I was a tiny tot. She said they call off the revolution down there when it rains. They hate it when their bullets get wet.

#5 I used to have this girlfriend who was from Bolivia. One day a bunch of my friends and I were sitting around the kitchen table arguing politics when she came in, snorted at us, and said something like:

"Capitalism. Marxism. Fascism. Socialism. We Bolivians have tried all of them and nothing works!"

#6 "Not WoT related, but something we should keep our eyes on just the same."

The terrorists have linked up with both the human and drug traffickers of Latin America and Al Qaeda even said to have entered through Mexico courtesy of MS13, the Salvadoran street gang. A Hezbollah member crossed via Mexico and is in custody in Detroit. They are funded by drugs and no nation is untouched by terrorism. I think the problem is few recognize the connections and generally ignore our own backyard, which is rife with corrupt governments and unstable economies. This could be WoT related if we don't get a handle on illegal immigration as terrorists have a sixth sense for finding weaknesses to exploit. They should rewrite their constitution, hopefully patterned after the US.
