U.S. militarization in Latin America condemned http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_63183.shtml

Intellectuals, representatives of social movements and political forces gathered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, last Wednesday (1st) to discuss the process of re-militarization of Latin America by the United States. The Continental Conference on Imperialist Militarization was attended by the writer, journalist and member of the Advisory Council of Mopassol, Estella Calloni, who warned about the U.S. military bases installed in Latin America.

It is now necessary to consider the military bases, the actions of paramilitaries in Colombia, the different forms of state terrorism employed, the presence of U.S. troops in Haiti and the situation of Mexico, facing a war between drug trafficking cartels, which has left over 37,000 dead since December 2006.Estella Calloni positively assessed the realization of the Council of Defence meeting of UNASUL (Union of South American Nations) and the creation of the Center for Strategic Studies of Defense in Buenos Aires. 

"The CEED was created from the need to consolidate a South American identity on the subject of defense. It aims to build a vision of its own, oriented from the specific needs and common interests of the countries in the region. "To analyze the world situation and the role of NATO, the United States and the European Union in Middle East conflicts, the director of Cebrapaz (Brazilian Center for Solidarity and Struggle for Peace), José Reinaldo Carvalho, issued a statement noting that the War against Libya is the 

"first of the Obama administration, but the third to be conducted, since he inherited the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq from the Bush administration." "As in all the recent wars of U.S. imperialism and its allies against other nations, a war started under false pretenses and has the complicity of a huge and powerful machine of lies - the media, which prepares the land with arguments concerning alleged violations of human rights, the perpetration of crimes against the civilian population and disobedience to international treaties," he emphasized.
