[Marxism] FWD: Argentines Burn U.S. Flag to Protest SendingTroops to Haiti



Hi Nestor, et al,
I only posted this because it's the first report manifestation of
opposition to what the Argentine gov't is doing... in Argentina. I
haven't a clue about this group, not having ever heard of them, nor
could I care (albeit I am interested and thankful for your analysis of
it).

From my vantage point, in the US, I see Argentina and Brazil trying to
make kissee-face with the US while at the same time seeking distance on
how to establish 'fair trade' between these two blocks. "Yes, we do
what we want, but we'll help you restore 'order' to our fellow Latin
Americans in Haiti, better us than you...". So when I see anybody
opposing the occupation of Haiti, I'm glad, even if their methods suck.

Regardless of how important the 'popularization' of the Armed forces is
in Argentina, it's irrelevant in terms of the role... new role?... they
want to play internationally vis-a-vis the US...which must be analsyed
in it's own terms from the point of view of US imperialism, and Haitian
sovereignty.

Thank you for the analysis, it's well thought out and fascinating.

David
