If enough of these communists stand together, they will be buoyed by each other and create a strength that alone they do not possess. A real communism, the kind that they claim to dream about, has never been achieved but they keep saying it will be wonderful. I see it as no more than taking power and subjugating people as the cogs in their wheel. In that kind of set up, they don't ask permission and they will deal with China and other anti-American countries. Bush wants to weed out corruption and begin to elevate the poor in this hemisphere. I believe he sees the way to bringing these countries out of their flirtation with communist oppression. I think the communist oppressors see it too and are determined to counter his actions. I hope there's enough of a spark of freedom in that region to fan the fires of reform.
At America's economic, cultural, Constitutional, and social expense?
