There are alternative crops. I live in a major agricultural region. There are companies biting at the bit to produce alternative crops in that area. America money sent in the form of aid to Bolivia for eradication of the cocoa plant amounts to 10% of the Bolivia GNP.
The cocaine crop was stymied and decreased substantially. {} But, watch and see the pressure that Morales is under to grant favorable status to the drug cartel...I doubt he lasts 6 months in office. His own party gave him only 30 days after he takes office to make drastic changes.
I lived among the Cubans in America for a few years. I have not been to Cuba , even though I have been off its coast. My father was there for around 9 years pre-Castrol.
If it so great a country, why do the Cubans not have permission to leave their country? Why do mothers of Cuban children risk the childrens lives by putting them in small boats across shark infested waters???
I need to know why Cuba is a great country...
I meant to imply that when I suggested corporate investments. I meant other then the US's too.
