  • So sad that Latin Americans have suffered this sort of imperialist terror for decades.

  • We ousted Trujillo the same way we ousted Noriega, he was a monster who served us well and then outlived his usefulness. For example, what did we replace Trujillo with? Not exactly democracy or the 1965 crisis would never have erupted. Remember we kept Papa Doc in Haiti and Somoza in Nicaragua.

  • fuck you lyndon johnson. thanx god for send a this animal a burning in hell

  • This video keeps stopping at 1:55. Is this happening for everyone?

  • The U.S. supported Trujillo's plunder of the Dominican people for decades. He did after all attain power with the help of the U.S. created constabulary. They turned on him when he began to rob from the U.S. corporations.

    LBJ used the fabricated pretext of communism to make sure that democracy was not reinstalled in the Dominican, in the form of Bosch. The rebels were not Communist, they were democrats.

  • In the book "Collapse" by Diamond, he proposes an interesting view on Balaguer. An evil dictator with a passion for protecting the enviornment. He argues that in the long run he could have been the reason why DR is way better off then Haiti.

    -Also, I agree with you. As long as the monsters are following orders- we support them (Saddam). Then when they stop listening to us we act like we are the heros by disposing them.

  • wow.... we helped help oust Trujillo!  That guy was awful.
