There's a revolution underway in South America, but most of the world doesn't know it. Oliver Stone sets out on a road trip across five countries to explore the social and political movements as well as the mainstream media's misperception of South America while interviewing seven of its elected presidents. In casual conversations with Presidents Hugo Chávez (Venezuela), Evo Morales (Bolivia), Lula da Silva (Brazil), Cristina Kirchner (Argentina), as well as her husband and ex-President Néstor Kirchner, Fernando Lugo (Paraguay), Rafael Correa (Ecuador), and Raúl Castro (Cuba), Stone gains unprecedented access and sheds new light upon the exciting transformations in the region.

The best way to revitalize the country is war.
If Bush said that he should be hanged.It may be the best way to revitalize the country BUT NOT IT'S PEOPLE.

If Bush said that he should be hanged.It may be the best way to revitalize the country BUT NOT IT'S PEOPLE.

bush, as well as other usa presidents (including obama), have acted as if they believe in it, after all which country has started (or was involved) in the majority of recent large military conflicts?

revitalizing through war is like revitalizing through destruction, hardly a good choice for anyone

usa doesn't care which side (left or right or something else) controls these countries, as long as they can grab a 'slice of the pie' for themselves (and their corporate masters) - they will financially & military support both sides, while making other deals that will be profitable in the future, virtually infiltrating these countries via personnel, positions, ownership, shares, investments, contracts, loans, banks, companies, subsidiaries and so on, step by step behind closed doors, while the local citizens are focused on some local controversy or scandal or war/conflict, and after some time later they may wake up realizing that a large part of their country/resources/companies are now in the hands (owned) of foreign corporations or businessmen who can thus control/steer/manipulate the local economy, naturally in their own interests, like maximum profit extraction, fixing prices, creating artificial shortages and so on
