Its about how the US is affecting politics in south america. Supporting coups and such in the pursuit of riches (of course)!

Hehe should probably have supplied a link to some more info

Contras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That's is probably the best example made a thread about this kind of thing a few months back.

YouTube - Pirates and Emperors - Schoolhouse Rock

And heres a good little overview of US foreign policy that the whole family can enjoy!

Recorded this on Sky+ the other night but haven't got round to watching it yet.

Seems like well worth a watch as long as it is done well

Yeah, I watched this and thought it was really good. It's scary what America does in it's own "back yard" and just gets away with; the number of coups and stuff that they backed which put people like Pinoche, and other facist dictators, in power is just crazy.
