I don't believe this at all. I think they despise us because they are aware that we acquired much of that wealth by looting the rest of the world. (BTW, when I say "we", I do not mean common Americans. I mean the large corporations)

The reason much of Latin America is poor is because of US policies during the 20th Century. Whenever one of these countries would try to have a democracy, the US military would step in and overthrow the elected leaders and install a corrupt puppet dictator who could then be bribed into giving all of his country's valuable land and resources to American corporations.

So now when these countries finally have democracy and their elected leaders attempt to take back that land and resources and give it back to the common people, they are called communists.

Well, I'm sorry but that is called "justice", not "communism".

Happy New Year to you too.
