@anonymous: No, no missile. I know this crackpot Zhirinovski said it was a US missile, but that is nonsense. It was a meteor, no more and no less.

As for Ecuador, this is extremely good news as it is absolutely essential for Latin America to have a socialist alternative to Chavez, not only because of his illness, but also because of his mistakes.

Cheers!

I would like to find out more about the rumblings of tribal/native disquiet over mining rights (I’m assuming it’s just the MSM looking to drive a wedge issue into national unity)
