Well, Doug, that's a difference between a plutocracy/oligarchy in the
periphery mired in decades of civil war (Colombia) and a
plutocracy/oligarchy at the core that has been at peace at home since

while i'd disagree about 'peace at home', u.s. 'democratic' elites
uttered neither a peep of protest nor a whisper about cutting off *aid*
to colombian authoritarian elites over decades of right-wing murder of
hundreds - probably thousands - of 'leftist' candidates/ politicians, in
fact, via so-called ' drug war' u.s. 'democratic' elites have
sponsored/supported military and paramilitary reign of terror against
those favoring social change through electoral politics... mh
