2) The average person would actually be worse off if de Lozada took no action to lift the country out of the economic crapper Bolivia is currently in. So what would you suggest6 instead of marketing the countries valuable natural resources? The drug trade?I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

Legalized drugs in South America?? The CIA would be all over them before you could say 'Sandinista'.
Are your friends out of the 'hotspots' areas Boshko?
Is it pretty much 'business as usual' as far as life in Bolivia?"Wait a minute..this isn''t FAUX dive, it's just a DIVE!"

Besides, they're exporting it through a Chilean port...and that just makes the Bolivians remember that they lost their landaccess to the ocean to that same country...
In any case...the international left has clearly already given this movement its blessing...in practice, now they can do whatever the **** they want, and "everything will be ok" for the left....

I cold say Sandanista, but why would I? The only thing they had to do with the drug trade was be the victims of a terrorist organization funded by it, namely, the Contras.Originally posted by Seeker

This whole situation is bad news. I wonder what the left's substantial plans are once they chase this guy from office.
Edit: Anyway, I think selling the gas is a good idea. Bolivia has a lot more than it needs, so why not sell some gas?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Their plans? To take control of the government probably.
I don't understand why selling something that you don't need to someone who is willing to pay for it is bad."Never trust a man who puts your profit before his own profit." - Grand Nagus Zek, Star Trek Deep Space Nine, episode 11

It seems that the president is about to resign his charge. Sorry can´t find it in english www.lanacion.com and MZO (english thread) http://central.masterzen.net/index.php?showtopic=1513
They say that he is about to give a press conference about it later today.The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power.

Well he's gone...and probably his government (and anything resembling representative democracy) will also fall, unless some totally unforeseen moderation affects the leaders of the protest movement....nope, they'll probably just see this as their chance to take power.DULCE BELLUM INEXPERTISComment
