2. What strikes me there
Is that Morales says the enemy is U.S. capitalism.

The rest of the world is rising up and fighting too, but here - we are taking it on at the source. I'm not sure how it can be bloodless here. Already, two vets have been hospitalized. We've seen pictures of wounds from rubber bullets and beanbag rounds.

I honestly can't predict how it's going to go. On one hand, I really think the majority of our military and veterans are with us, and also perhaps a great number of our police. On the other hand, the 1% would have no qualms about using drones on Occupy camps if they become big enough and threaten their power enough. Also - Blackwater/Xe/whatever would not be on our side and would do the same thing to Americans that they do to Iraqis.
