10. Ignorance! Who is this guy?

And why would he worry? Bush never fires anyone.

What could be happening in Latin America?

Feeling painfully stupid. Please help.

13. The short answer

Edited on Tue May-04-04 07:57 PM by belladonna

A neocon holdover from the Reagan administration

Do a google of Reich, death squads, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatemala and you'll get more info than you probably wanted

11. I think you got it.

A resignation means nothing with a revolving door between government and business. Reich will remain an influence.

In some respects, you could say US foreign policy has already been privatized.
