Bolivians March

Eduardo Gamarra, the country’s most prominent Bolivia specialist, questions the United States’ and Bolivia's conduct following an attack on our embassy in La Paz: why was our reaction so subdued, what was Morales’ role in the mayhem, and what exactly is our policy toward the increasingly unfriendly Bolivian government? I’ve written approvingly of the United States’ less confrontational attitude in Latin America over the past few years, but a less aggressive posture doesn’t mean accommodating unfriendly governments. Especially, those that want to burn down American embassies.
