Losers in Ecuador

The two big losers of Latin America, decades behind from the rest of the world, namely Castro and his new found admirer Chavez, don’t like to feel isolated and forgotten by history. They are stirring all sorts of unrest in neighboring countries; first Bolivia, now Ecuador:

To close the circle we saw Hugo Chavez declaring yesterday in Caracas "surely up north they will blame me for the turmoil in Ecuador..." A latin adage pertinently describes Chavez unsolicited mea culpa: "Excusatio non Petita, Accusatio Manifesta". Besides it is quite difficult to imagine a Lula fighting for his political survival or a prone to be re-elected Uribe having the time to stir revolts regionally, after all who's Castro's heir? Who's the reincarnation of Che?

Do they think that to fail together is to fail less?
