    No...I am just pointing out that glynch and others should not expect this amazing transformation for the everyday person there. It isn't like the world is all of a sudden going to be full of pink and fuzzy bunnies.

    It is likely that a new, differently oppressive regime will take over, drunken with their new found power. In a generation or two, things may reform, but it isn't gonna happen now.

    Well a small change like your kid gets a bit more food and doesn't die at 6 months from malnutrition is an amazing transformation for that family. Similarly if you can join a union and not be tortured by troops trained at the School for the Americas (or whatever its new name is) it is an amazing tranformation for the person not tortured.

    Come on glynch. You have seen this before. You want to see how this is likely to turn out, just look at Russia. After a few good years, the old KGB boys took over, and now in certain respects things are WORSE.

    Come back to me with your blind optimism in 24 months. We'll know for sure then.
