1. These leaders are a danger to the U.S.
a danger to the U.S. capitalists' dreams of plundering and pillaging their respective countries resources, that is. I bet I had a few of you going there, eh? ;)
These South American leaders don't play ball with our Corporatocracy, and that makes them dangerous, in their eyes. Of course the corporate media is going to vilify them, they stand in the way of those same corporations desire to make huge profits from them.
We know what usually happens to countries that stand in the way of corporate America. They get bombs dropped on them. The South Americans' only ace in the hole is their geographic proximity to us. If they were anywhere else in the world we'd already have troops overrunning their countries.
I'm not completely defending Chavez and the rest of South America's leaders. I'm just saying that they seem to have the best interests of their people in mind. That's quite different from U.S. ideology where it's citizens' well being is secondary to corporate profits. .
