Bush as "the Devil:" namely, the Bush administration's involvement in the 2002 military coup that briefly overthrew Venezuela's democratic government, and the administra...

From Mexico: Oaxaca at the crossroads The political strategy of the government is to impose a negotiated settlement that doesn't meet the movement's demands, and demobilizes the movement, while blackmailing Oaxaca with the threat of the entry of the PFP [Mexican Federal Police] and the army into Oaxaca.

Devil's on the Loose: Evil Hour in Colombia There was a period in the 1990s when I honestly thought that Colombia would become Washington's next Vietnam.
