Bolivian leader resigns – senior government source
Bolivia’s president resigned on Friday, offering to step down in a letter he sent to Congress after a nationwide deadly revolt to oust him, a senior government source said.
This government collapsed under its own corrupt weight, plus the pressure of hundreds of thousands of protestors who shut down the capitol city. This is a major blow to Bush, as this right wing Bolivia government was one of the few governments left in South America that supported the “free trade” policies so beloved by the Bushies.
