Left turn for Latin America?

It looks like the people of Latin Americas countries are tired of being ruled and exploited by rich families.

Nothing could be worse that all-out communism, which has been proven to be the wrong way to go.

The European mix of socialism with a strong dose of capitalism might be the best solution for Latin America.

Let us hope that the US does not interfere with a heavy hand. That recipe has finally backfired and has rallied the ordinary people of Latin America.

"If we win, not just Evo will be president, but the Quechua and Aymara will also be in the presidency," Morales said, referring to Bolivia's two largest Indian communities. "We are a danger for the rich people who sack our resources."

Morales, 46, a former llama herder and coca farmer who has a slight lead in the polls for the election on Dec. 18, offers what may be the most radical vision in Latin America, much to the dismay of the Bush administration.

But the sentiment extends beyond Bolivia. Starting on Dec. 11 in Chile, voters in 11 countries will participate in a series of presidential elections over the next year that could take Latin America further to the left than it already is.
