Great diary, and excellent news on Morales's victory. Let's hope this signals a turn for Bolivia. We should all be paying attention to South America over the next year, for signs of U.S. interference. Frankly, I'm not ready to rest easy on this, as the U.S. has a long and sad history of supporting military coups and dictators in South America. Unfortunately, neither the media nor the American public tend to pay much attention to events in South America, and I doubt if even a military coup will rouse much interest. It will be up to the blogosphere to focus on this issue, if the U.S. does try to oust Morales through military means.
