Chavez and Morales Expelled US Ambassadors

Last Wednesday, Bolivian President Evo Morales expelled the US Ambassador in La Paz. Morales said that the US Ambassador and the US State Department had the hand in the violent protest in Bolivian provinces. Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan President, a staunch ally of Bolivia also expelled US Ambassador in Caracas. The Honduran government, in expressing support also sent a commitment to hold off accreditation for a new US Ambassador. It is not clear whether Nicaragua would follow.

The United States is known for being a dubious country that would do all things possible to advance their interests. The CIA has been linked to funding insurgencies to destabilize the countries that do not support them in several instances.

We need world leaders like Vladimir Putin and Hugo Chavez who have the guts to say no to US Imperialism.
