Interesting Bolivia Article

I've been very excited whenever I read about the election of Bolivia's new President. His name is Evo Morales and he's the first Indigenous President of Bolivia since the last Inca King over 500 years ago. His election is a big landmark for indigenous peoples in Latin America, but more importantly, his election may signal conflict with the United States along the lines of Castro and Chavez. Morales is a coca grower, opposes free trade, and opposes privatization of public services and Bolivia's natural resources. He is another example of the leftward tilt in Latin America which is not a bad thing in my opinion, but his anti-American stances suggest conflict. I don't think Bush is going to be too pleased when he finds out who won Bolivia's election (if he ever finds out considering how much he ignores Latin America and how retarded he is).

ANYWAY...you can read a great article from the Nation about Evo Morales, Bolivia, and a lot of the issues facing American-Bolivian relations if you follow this link.
