[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 873415, member: 2189"] The history of Guatemala, especially mid to late 20th century is very telling. Knowing a little of that history would help explain the "Spreading Freedom, Liberty and Democracy to others" comment and it happens to be a direct takeoff to Richard Nixon's comments in 1954' after the democratically elected [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobo_%C3%81rbenz_Guzm%C3%A1n"][COLOR=#ff0000]Jacobo Arbenz Guzman[/COLOR][/URL] was overthrown in a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954_Guatemalan_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat"][COLOR=#ff0000]CIA led Coup[/COLOR][/URL] and a military junta was installed into power. Below is a just under 5 minute micro view of the events and some film of Nixon's comments are also seen. Another important point to consider are the comments of infamous CIA man E. Howard Hunt who was the CIA pointman in the Guatemala operation. How Hunt speaks of terrorism, a word in our present day with special implications, I would hope would cause pause to think. [video=youtube;TQ-E--rmi3k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ-E--rmi3k[/video] A side historical interest is how the infamous [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays#Overthrow_of_government_of_Guatemala"][COLOR=#ff0000]Edward Bernays[/COLOR][/URL] was used in this entire effort. In fact, what we see today in the Middle East is nothing more than a picture of Central America circa mid-20th century. Yes, even Central America had it's villians such as we see and hear today and like then, the legacy of Bernay's lives on! [/QUOTE]
