Coca Farmer wins Bolivian Election

Great... Cocaine is a scourge in this country... Don't think so, imagine visiting your neighbor, or a member of your family and they are "snorting cocaine". Hardly a "recreational drug".

Well, how about if you are President Bush and you have to greet the new President of Bolivia Evo Morales, who won with 54% of the vote. Andrew Clem, (Blog with No Name) is an excellent place to keep on top of Latin and Central American affairs. This guy Morales is a Coca farmer...

Yes, Coca farmer.... the stuff they make Cocaine from.... had these comments to make according to Bloomberg.com "Morales, who led protests to topple the government in 2003, today called on Bush to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and close military bases in Latin America.

This guy is a "deep thinker" huh... Exactly how in the Good Lord's Name is American Foreign Policy in the Middle East negatively impacting Bolivia??? As you read on in the Bloomberg article, Bolivia has Naturual Gas Reserves.... maybe a stable and oil producing Iraq will hurt exports, along with his buddy Hugo Chavez of Venezuala ???
