    About five years ago, I would think.

    Listen, did you never hear of google? Look up the details, I'm not going to waste my time doing it if you're too lazy.

    You obviously dont know the details yourself. Have googled and have seen no case of any Irishmen being mercenaries for FARC or anyone else in Colombia

    The elites can squash him easily but they cannot squash the workers who won the water wars. Morales is useful for controlling them. This coup may be from an outside agency, government or corporation, and were given up by indigenous elites to create a pantomime. Obamas bungling springs to mind.

    there are plenty of irish catholics involved in absolutely despicable activities as mercenaries , whether in the US army , British army or PSNI . The record of Irish catholics in British uniforms doing imperialist dirty work stretches from pitchcappings in wexford ,evictions in mayo , massacres of native americans ,australian aborigines , indians , afghans iraqis and vietnamese . I dont think an irish catholic is any less likely to an impoerialists dirty work for money than an Irish protestant . Only that an Irish catholic has had more reason to watch his back for doing so .

    So you're suggesting he's another Allende? A hero for the European pseudo-leftists, but actually an objective disaster for the Chilean working class, who were left unarmed and unorganized to defend themselves against Pinochet and his murder squads?

    Could be.
