You have your views, I have mine. It not alpha or omega. It just is. Why do you think Latin governments were not happy when Kerry referred to the region as our backyard? What do you think that was about? I am glad you are in the region nd even talk with pols...congrats.

You started this discussion with a huge assumption, that I had not even set a foot in that area of the continent. You perhaps assumed I was born and raised in the US.

So you started by saying that we had no idea, instead of offering your current expertise...I will say this...smooth...sneaky, and underhanded. In fact, even though you might have something of value, your way is ignore worthy.

Good bye
