| #7 I'll bet the stiped pants brigade in La Paz is trying to figure a way to meddle in Bolivian affairs so they can get kicked out. But then they'd just get transfered to ZimBob'sWay |

| #1 Good! Stop foriegn aid immediately. A penny saved is a penny earned. U.S. Aid. The United States is the largest bilateral donor in Ecuador. Principal goals for U.S. assistance to Ecuador are bolstering democracy, reducing poverty, protecting the environment, and securing the northern border with Colombia. Ecuador received $25.2 million in aid in FY2007, including $17.3 million in counternarcotics assistance. In FY2008, Ecuador received roughly $32 million in U.S. aid, including $9.1 million in counternarcotics assistance. The FY2009 request for Ecuador was for $32.5 million, with $13.4 million in counternarcotics assistance. |
