Canada screwing up Latin America

as it is an unwillingness to accept perceived injustice(s)no matter one's political stance on the political spectrum. It is because men sat idly, cowering, that for the better part of the last century most of Latin America endured insufferable dictatorships, almost all of them supported and financed by Washington and its diverse covert agencies. It is when men stood up to be counted that we are now fundamentally free of these scourges to human rights in this hemisphere. Even Washington, which had strayed so significantly from its own Declaration of Rights now is an arch enemy to political movements whose sole goal is authoritarianism. The overthrow of those dictatorial regimes may not have resulted in flawless political systems. But they are better than what preceded them. Even President Castro, despite being perceived a persona non grata by Washington for over fifty years, brought significant social justice to Cuba: the first Latin nation to achieve full literacy, universal health care, among other rights which universally are all men's rights, or should be. One may detest his regime's economic policies, among other scources of disagreement, but the Cuba of today is better off than the wh...house it was under Batista, whose army it should be recalled was the best armed in the Spanish America's. Don't misconstrue the comments above as pro-communist, or anti American. If there is perceived injustice, regardless of whether one is a neo conservative or neo liberal, there will be men who will not idly sit back. That is not unabashed bravery. That is a belief in the cause of righteousness, and a willingness to struggle for it.
