The Monroe Doctrine, expressed in 1823, proclaimed the United States' opinion that European powers should no longer colonize the Americas or interfere with the affairs of sovereign nations located in the Americas, such as the United States, Mexico, and others.

We need to dust off the Monroe Doctrine.

Monroe Doctrine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

U.S. President James Monroe.The Monroe Doctrine, expressed in 1823, proclaimed the United States' opinion that European powers should no longer colonize the Americas or interfere with the affairs of sovereign nations located in the Americas, such as the United States, Mexico, and others. In return, the United States planned to stay neutral in wars between European powers and in wars between a European power and its colonies. However, if these latter type of wars were to occur in the Americas, the U.S. would view such action as hostile toward itself.

The doctrine was issued by President James Monroe during his seventh annual State of the Union address to Congress. It was met first with doubt, then with enthusiasm. This was a defining moment in the foreign policy of the United States.

The doctrine was conceived by its authors, especially John Quincy Adams, as a proclamation by the United States of moral opposition to colonialism, but has subsequently been re-interpreted in a wide variety of ways, including by President Theodore Roosevelt as a license for the U.S. to practice its own form of colonialism (known as the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.)

A EU-Latin American summit now? What a coincidence! Look this: Latin American and European leaders are in Vienna, Austria, for a summit aimed at strengthening cooperation between the continents.

The EU Commission for External Relations and Neighborhood Policy, Benita Ferrero-Waldner issued a statement Wednesday saying Europe will do everything it can to clear the way for closer trade partnerships. But she said Latin American nations must overcome obstacles on their side.

This is part of the plot! Just in time!! Only those stupid Latin Americans fail to see they're being taken for a ride!

But they deserve it: They embraced Chaves, Castro they love to make a show off to the US. The Europeans come from behind and screw them!!!

Instead of concentrating in create a environment where the capital flow into they did the reverse: Create an environment that eventually chase the capital away. The Europeans will laugh all the way to the bank!!!

The Europeans are afraid as hell of capital spreading more evenly. The Chinese have not fell for the Taiwan "crisis" nor to North Korea nuclear ambitions. The Latin Americans may fall for the European trap!
