"South of the Border" by Oliver Stone

The Bolivarian Revolution and the sweeping changes that it brought to South America is the subject of this film.  It is brilliantly done.  The Bolivaian leadership currently in power in South America definately has improved the quality of life to the citizens of their countries with plenty of work still be realized. 

I don't really care if they get 'bad press.'  These leaders are not FIRST capitalists and then leaders.  They are first leaders that seek to bring wealth to their people and practice their own form of capitalism that insures the wealth of their nation which interprets directly into national security.

The impoverishment of these countries have been profound and it would seem as though the Bolivarians have found a way to begin the process of liberating their citizens from that poverty.  They still lack legitimacy in a global sense simply because they have been traditionally hated in the mass media.  Understandable, they shun traditional capitalism and corporate wealth as a method to national security and quality of life of their citizens.  Oliver Stone has brought a very interesting perspective to this new South American leadership.

I have a suggestion.

The Haiti Earthquake left the citizens there without hope.  There are vast numbers of countries that have not provided their promised funds to the Haitian people. 

I would like for the Bolivaian Leadership of South America to unite in a global effort to make sure those monies are received by the Haitians and insure the monies are spent in such a manner that will prove to be effective for the people of Haiti.

In acting in a humanitarian way to improve the lives outside of their countries by holding global partners responsible for their promises.  Simply their promises.  They will prove their legitimacy in achieving humanitarian efforts to at least one other country besides their own.  Undisputable proof to their legitimate commitments without speculation.  And perhaps the Bolivarians have a better answer for the infrastructure of Haiti so the people there have a real solution rather than a patch work of faux priorities that do not deliver them from their plight.  Delivering Haitians from their plight is something the West has yet to accomplish, by the way.

I do caution, the USA military has a productive presense in that country, so the Bolivarians will have to work with a cooperative effort to existing infrastructure that are at work already there.  But, their expertise may be very welcome to a people in such profound need and certainly their ability to pressure the international community is undeniable.

I wish you all well.
