America's New Enemy (News)

Monday, November 14, 2005 11:18

An inspiring article about how massive popular uprisings across South America have lead to a revolution rejecting U.S. imperialism, as they refuse to let their countries be used as resource-extraction points for foreign governments any longer. The poster child of this movement is Venezuelean President Hugo Chavez, leading the charge to return power to the people.

Here's the thing: If every country in the world did this -- steadfastly refused to allow itself to become a slave to America -- the lifestyle most of us currently lead would be impossible. So which would you rather have? True democracy, in which everyone is treated equally and fairly? Or would you prefer to continue living in what we call "luxury" at the expense of those you cannot see?
