#2 If the South American countries can find the monies to fund their own economic expansion, more power to them.

#7 Southern money is tied up in Northern economic regimes for a reason. For some reason Latin Americans have proven incapable of running their own economies so they are a bad investment.

Perhaps if they let the Chileans run things...
