The man on the street in S. America isn't very Yankee friendly it seems, and if you connect the dots, they better start getting serious protecting our southern border. news.bbc.co.uk Sitting next to me, Mario is intent on explaining how it is all George Bush's fault. According to my friend, who has lived all his life in Buenos Aires, every time Argentina achieves stability and economic success, the Yankees have to spoil it all. They cannot, he says, stand the competition. This was what happened four years ago, when the Argentine economy collapsed. The pesos Mario had saved, each of which was then worth $1, suddenly lost two-thirds of their value as the peso plummeted. And since then the dreaded International Monetary Fund has been trying to impose its stranglehold on the Argentine economy and force Argentines to comply with its recipe of cheap exports, firms being sold off to foreign investors and even Argentine beef being banned from the United States on the grounds that most people in Argentina say are spurious.
