Forrest Hylton: The US is promoting secessionist movements to break up countries it cannot control.

The United States first lost its influence in Latin America because of deals it made during the Cold War to prop up any dictatorship as long as it was anti-communist. Even Bill Clinton with his "free-trade" and drug eradication projects was not open to South American autonomy from Washington.

This dude seems to think that an Obama administration would be business-as-usual in relation to Latin America. We'll see. Clinton pretty much sucked hard with his murderous Plan Colombia.
