Peru is going to be one of the next "dominoes" in Latin America to fall to social justice, fairness, and regional self-determination--an unstoppable movement that has swept leftists (majorityists) into office in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and most recently, Paraguay. El Salvador may be the next to "fall"--next year, and in 2010-2012, Mexico, where the leftist recently lost by a hairsbreadth--0.05%--in a probable stolen election, and where privatization of Mexico's constitutionally protected oil resource, corporate biofuel impacts on the price of the tortilla, and both "free trade" and the "war on drugs" ("war on the poor") will likely be the main issues--and Peru, where the issues will be similar (--if Garcia lasts that long--he is very corrupt and could end up impeached/indicted before his term is up).
And that will be an almost unbroken landscape of leftist governments, covering South and Central America--organized as a Latin American "common market"--and (recently proposed by Brazil) a common defense--without the U.S.
Can we blame the Peruvian majority for wanting to be part of this vibrant, new, democratic, highly successful, social justice movement, that promises to establish Latin America as a world power, rivaling the U.S., by harnessing the creative energy of all of its people, the combined riches of its oil, gas, forests, fresh water and other resources, and the combined strength of cooperative political and economic action? Garcia has held them back--in typical fascist fashion--by allying Peru with the dreadful Bush Junta, and rewarding a rich elite against the poor majority. He will go down in history as a complete jerk, who sold Peru out--much like the Venezuelan regime just prior to Chavez, which was giving away 90% of Venezuela's oil revenues to multinationals, and creating an unsustainable, elitist, urban culture, addicted to IMPORTS, rather than attending to critical needs, such as local manufacturing, land reform and food production.
I couldn't believe it when I learned that, prior to Chavez, Venezuela was importing machine parts needed by their oil industry! How could a ruling class be so stupid--so self-centered, so short-sighted, so unpatriotic? It boggles the mind. This is what U.S.-dominated "free trade" does to other countries. It encourages STUPIDITY in their leadership. Thus, we have Garcia there, and Bush here--two prime examples of how to destroy a country's economy for the short-term greed of a few.
