In the world of today the name Banana Republic is given to the countries or estates which have just Puppet Governments which can just be crushed or turned like a banana in any direction. Why does this situation arise? Authority Tends To Corrupt and Absolute Authority Corrupts absolutely. If any powerful country tries to impose its law or strength on Banana Republic it just crushes like a banana and can't repel against any immoral act of that country. We can judge the Banana Republic each year.

This doesn't surprise me! U.S. corporations like Chiquita have always exploited the resources of various countries! The richer get richer and the poorer get poorer! Guatemala is a good example of this and in the U.S. same thing goes. While corporate America invest their money for cheap labor in other countries people in the U.S. lose their jobs and get poorer! Example Flint, Michigan or plain simply middle America is a good example! Then we blame it on the immigrants and junk the media tells us!

A very appropriate documentary which does illustrate the techniques we can now see being used by the US and UK Govt with Western media cooperation to justify the actions we are taking on the 'War on Terrorism'.
