Yep. They ought to be pilloried for what they've done.

it was unintentional, though now that I think about it, it is funny.

Very likely. This presents a great danger to the revolution, since Bush will likely use it as an excuse to invade.

Who was that guy who called for 1000 Vietnams?

Let's not forget the Bolsheviks originally opposed Lenin's call for revolution. If there's a Bolivian Lenin (and I don't think there is), the MAS could radicalize. I'm sure their youth are already doing so. Look for a split in the MAS.

Congress Session Fails – More Rumors of a Coup

Here is what we know. Congress has abandoned its plans for meeting. Members are stuck in their hotels and other locations in Sucre where miners and other protesters have blocked access to the airport. There are reports of troop movements in Santa Cruz and a strong belief among reliable sources here that a coup of some kind is possible tonight. We will do our best to keep you updated as things develop.

Aren't you gleeful when a group of unrepresentative swill like the Bolivian establishment get their comeuppance.

I know I am.

If this goes through it will be almost as much fun as the Chavez referendum thread.

As I suppose you know, Bolivia's never forgiven Chile for conquering their Pacific coast back in 1878 (I might misremember the exact year - too lazy to check). After Chile cancelled negotiations for a "sovereign" Bolivian rail link to the coast thru Chilean territory last year, some hotheads called for retaking the place by force.

Chile's military budget is ten times Bolivia's.

If they invade, it's possible that someone would be quick enough to take him out of that misconception before the Chileans pwnz the sorry asses of the Bolivian army. (And navy. They've got one, believe it or not.)
