(Hey, they may be Marxists, but they tell a lot of truth!)

So he's decided to respect private property. I really can't comment on that, but I don't know how far he will be allowed to go by the powers of imperialism. Bolivia by even Third World standards is a very poor country. Unlike Venenzuela, they don't have all that oil to throw in the face of our beloved President Bush. So where's the wiggle room? Where can they get any negotiating power with imperialist countries?

Will he sell out like his Brazilian counter-part, with splits already occuring to his left? Or will the Yankees just practice their favorite pastime of making Latin American presidents they don't like "disappear"?
