Colombia Activist Flays US Rice

[cal04]

Colombian civil right advocate Piedad Cordoba urged US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to leave Latin American nations in peace because they are not willing to return to the colonial period. "We are not willing to become an Iraq, much less to return to the period of the colony," Cordoba said about Rice´s request for supporting a strike against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

She assured that Latin America was ready to strengthen a great bloc for regional development and against the US-proposed alternative of poverty and plunder. "They are (US) so shameless. They have done nothing but exploiting us and causing poverty; now they want us to join them against the only serious proposal of unity for progress," the civil right activist pointed out.

Cordoba said the US was more afraid of a developed and industrialized Latin America, with high levels of living conditions and capacity to compete with them, than of Chavez.

3. The best news all weekend!

And she's absolutely right: the U.S. fears a unified Central & South America more than Chavez.

The problem is, with their stupid actions (Rice and others) they are doing the very thing they're trying to avoid: enabling these countries to band together and fend off their blood-sucking tyrant from the North.

4. How unexpected: hearing a non-right-wingnut voice coming from Colombia

Usually the only word we hear always support _Bush and his puppet, Alvaro Uribe.

This is a wonderful message to send to the _Bush gang, and our power mad right-wing.
