".....civil strife, corruption, extreme poverty and disease, which destroy not just democracy but society itself." I wonder if we should be more concerned about our own hemesphere. Chavez of Venezuela represses his people (not unlike Castro), uses his oil money not so much to better the lives of his own people but to buy the people of other South American and Central American nations and meddles in their politics, also uses the drug cartels to his advantage and purposes, befriends Iran and their nuclear interests and perhaps to his own interests/power. President Fox is concerned with Chavez's influence in Mexico. If Fox is concerned, maybe we should be also ..... considering our border problems. |
