OAS members balk at U.S. intervention plan
Venezuela's foreign minister says plan aimed at his country

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (CNN) -- A U.S. proposal to intervene in Western Hemisphere nations to push democracy rankled the leaders of several South American countries debating the issue Monday at the meeting of the Organization of American States.

"There needs to be a dialogue rather than an intervention," said Brazil's foreign minister, Celso Amorim. "Democracy cannot be imposed. It is born from dialogue."

Venezuela's Rodriguez noted that as an oil exporter his nation has strong economic ties to the United States and warned that U.S. intervention efforts could jeopardize that economic relationship.

"We are not doing anything in order to change the policies, the decisions of the government of the United States. So we ask for the same treatment with Venezuela," he said.

Peace.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - We have all the evidence of mendacity and illegal war-making we need to indict and prosecute Bush, Blair and every other neoconster scum-bag on the planet having any involvement in the Bush's illegal war on Iraq and all the torture and other atrocities that have been committed since August 2002.

1. I was waiting - and hoping - for this response

Democracy has to be wanted before it's really, like, a Democracy! Right?

George doesn't get that.

3. Lunatics are running the asylum

4. Bush wants to rape Latin America as he did Iraq

The people of Latin America no longer fear the US, and will fight to defend themselves against the new American imperialism.

We must close ranks and express our solidarity with the people in Latin America against our own totalitarian regime!

6. Agreed. I encourage the LA leaders to form a boycott of all ....

.... goods and services branded "USA" until Bush and the neoconsters are indicted and an approved, logistically realistic withdrawl of every US National from Iraq has been adopted.

Peace.

5. Maybe Chile, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, ...

... Nicaragua, and Panama could lead an OAS force to restore democracy to the US, as a thank-you for all our our past help in their countries ...

7. How rude. BushCo wants to issue report cards on how well

other countries are handling their democracies. Didn't he just slap down Amnesty International for doing just that very thing on US torture activities.

8. anyone find the whole speech?

wonder who he's talking about here...

"Bringing a better life to our people requires choosing between two competing visions. One ... is founded on representative government, integration into the world markets ... The other seeks to roll back the democratic progress of the past two decades by playing to fear, pitting neighbor against neighbor and blaming others for their own failures to provide for their people."

11. Lets see... we've Enroned Argentina and Chile, treated Brazilians
