BOLIVIA'S NIGHTMARE

There was good reason to be concerned when socialist Evo Morales was
elected president of Bolivia.

Morales described himself as "Washington's nightmare" during his
campaign.

Morales won an unprecedented majority in an election where he often
criticized U.S. foreign policies, especially those that attempted to
develop Bolivia's large oil and gas reserves and destroy the South
American nation's cocaine trafficking.

Perhaps there's not that much to worry about. Morales recently
appointed a coca leaf grower as Bolivia's new drug czar. Who knows
more about cocaine than someone in the business?

That's exactly how many appointments are made in the United States.
Morales is a quick study.
