Michelle Bachelet, a pediatrician and former health and defense minister, soundly defeated her opponent; billionaire tycoon Sebastian Pinera in Chile's presidential run-off Sunday. Bachelet's 53.5 percent to Pinera's 46.5 percent marked a trend throughout Latin America of leftist electoral victories. Leftists now run Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay, and Venezuela, with the inclusion of Chile, the political sentiment of the region is unmistakable.Not quite the kind of democracy Dubya and his handlers had in mind, I'll warrant; the kind where the damned people decide on who runs the show, novel concept that.
Dr. Kissinger, a Sal Allende on line one for you.
