The UN General Assembly is bringing Latin American leaders and has them speaking on a diverse range of topics of interest to their country people and the world at large. Evo Morales of Bolivia criticized the United States and it’s hypocritical stance on terrorism. Others, like Argentina’s Cristina Fernandez de Kircher, took the opportunity to strengthen their colonial claims.
GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is also at the UN General Assembly and yet she’s only meeting one Latin American leader. Can you guess which one?
Evo Morales Says US Treated Him Badly

Bolivian President Evo Morales said he’s been treated great by the people of the NYC but complained of having to wait three hours before landing. Morales, in a speech before the UN General Assembly said that he continues to be a target of the U.S. and its Department of State, specifically referring to the difficulties his ministers had in getting visas.
While I don’t doubt that the U.S. is giving Bolivia a hard time, because of its relationship with Iran and Venezuela, but the plane thing probably had more to do with our shitty air traffic control system here.

While Bush and many others in NYC protested Iran’s President Mahmud Ahmadinejad at both the United Nations and Colombia University, others were making nice with Iran. On Monday Evo Morales’ administration announced that coming soon would be a diplomatic relationship with Iran. Evo’s opposition say that he is acting as Hugo Chavez’s lapdog. Hugo Chavez canceled his appearance at the U.N General Assembly opting instead to stay home and focus on his current gig as a negotiator with FARC. Ahmadinejad will visit Bolivia and Venezuela this week.
