Over the border say Peru where the tear gas cannisters came from in Honduras? It's one thing to be pacifist (and I do believe that the Morales government is genuine in that desire) and another to blind and stupid. If left to their own devices I am sure that would be the case but the US has never left any nation to develop freely. It is a long list of US invasion and 'intervention'. A list Morales and co. are all too familiar with.
One could mention just about every South and Central American country (many several times) that has been the target of U.S. aggression and 'influence'. The classic is Chile IMO...but it is only classically typical. That Morales spoke the words 'terrorism' [the truth, IMO] that America is bringing in various parts of the world (and increasingly to its own People internally) - and points out their [USA's] values of riches for the rich and poverty/scorched earth/serfdom for everyone else is reason enough for him to have to watch over his shoulder for an American led coup or invasion - likely a secret one led by our ignoble secret operations cabal. The USA has been itching to 'roll-back' the independent voices in S. and C. America and get 'em all back on our 'Plantation' - like back in the good old days (that were very bad ones, in fact!). We who are latecomers or the offspring of invaders to the Americas are visitors and guests of the indigenous people's who knew much better than we how to live in some harmony with the Earth. We have much to learn from them - and reparations to make - physically and spiritually.
