Who financed those civil wars with illegal drugs?
Who flooded those countries with weapons?
Who killed their leaders?
Who imposed austerity?
Who has prevented wage increases?
Who has prevented Unions?
Which corporations control those countries?
Who decides who can lead their own people in their own country?
Who allowed even priests and nuns to be murdered in the name of right wing ideology and then asked them what they thought would be the outcome?
