Pakistan Invades America --

Bolivia Versus the Empire
Morales Sí, Secession No
By Patrick Irelan
Evo Morales is a patient man. After he was elected president of Bolivia in 2005,
he set about in a peaceful and democratic way to liberate his country's oppressed
majority. That majority includes indigenous South American Indians, who make
up over 55 percent of the population, plus a large proportion of the country's
mestizos, who constitute a total of 30 percent of the population. Morales himself
is an Aymara Indian, the first indigenous president in the history of Bolivia.
The remaining 15 percent of the population is as white as the faces you recently
saw at the Republican National Convention.
