#4 Solving your own problems, no stinking gringos needed? Excellente! Glad to hear it. We'll just put a stop payment on the following bullshi* USAID programs. Did I mention they were all bullshi* giveaway programs anyway:

Peace & Security (FY 08 $208 Million):
Governing Justly & Democratically (FY 08 $158 Million):

Investing In People and Humanitarian Assistance (FY 08 $390 Million):

Economic Growth(FY 08 $206 Million):

Linkages With The Millennium Challenge Corporation:

In addition to the above assistance, ongoing Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) funding includes compacts with Nicaragua ($175 million), Honduras ($215 million), El Salvador ($461 million), and a Threshold Country Program for Paraguay ($35 million) and Guyana ($7 million) and Peru ($35.6 million).

Link.

#5 A quick check of the web -

46.9 million - The estimated Hispanic population of the United States as of July 1, 2008, making people of Hispanic origin the nation's largest ethnic or race minority. Hispanics constituted 15% of the nation's total population. In addition, there are approximately 4 million residents of Puerto Rico.

Ecuador 13,363,593
Colombia 42,954,279
Venezuela 25,375,281
Brazil 186,112,794
Peru 27,925,628
Chile 16,136,137
Uruguay 3,415,920
Paraguay 6,158,000
Argentina 39,537,943
Bolivia 8,857,870
Mexico 111,211,789

Its seems, that outside of Brazil and Mexico, the third largest population of 'Latins' in the Western Hemisphere resides in the United States. Can we say its really just an racist anti-Anglo organization rather than 'Latin'.

#6 This should be hilarious. A little known statistic about people from central and South America is that they cannot stand each other. Intermarriage between any two Latin American countries is less common than parents marrying their own children.

People from central and South America will intermarry with whites, blacks, orientals, but not with the people from the next country over.

#7 You are correct sir that the peoples of each one of these countries, while for the most part exactly the same, hate each other passionately. Their resentment of the US will bind them together, tho.
