I would like an expansion also. Certainly simply separating one or more Latin American nations from u.s. economic and political dominance is in itself revolutionary, and promising of more. If Brazil and/or Mexico went even almost as far as Venezuela has gone in "social-democratic reform" (and political independence), there would be (or at least very possibly would be) hell to pay _within_ the u.s. We really do need a world-wide united front against u.s. imperialism. And to begin with, within the u.s. that would include millions whose fundamental politics did not go beyond vigorous anti-interventionism (which is not quite anti-imperialism). Carrol > Doug
