It's a biased view??? And yet the US did supply Asia, and many parts of the world with decades of security from the protection of our military might. How many countries around the world have US military bases inside their borders offering them protection? Our military protection allowed these countries to put money into social programs, that would otherwise go to supporting their own military for their national security.
BS! Countries never ever get a "Free pass " from Yankee Imperialism. The US does what it does out of it's own interests or at least it's perceived own interests. Given the failure rate of US foreign affairs it is highly doubtful that anyone in power really understands where the nation's interests lay.

Indeed, the term 'national interest' is incredibly wishy-washy and abused to justify all sorts of crimes.
Hopefully, Americans will remember it was Democrats who forced the lending practices that created the housing bubble and crashed the economy, it was Democrats who claimed it was a youtube video that caused Benghazi, it was Democrats who lied about sending guns to Mexican drug cartels, it was Democrats who supported the Arab Spring that has resulted in a radical Muslim president who declared his edicts above judicial review and looked the other way while people who didn't share his religion were murdered and their churches burned, it was Democrats who barricaded the memorial for WW2 vets while they held a rally for illegal immigrants, it was Democrats who fled across state lines in Wisconsin to avoid a vote they didn't like, it was Democrats who said changing the filibuster rules would damage the nation when they weren't in power but then changed them when they were, it was Democrats who force in sequestration and then purposely made it as painful as they could and then blamed Republicans for it, it was Democrats who lied about Obamacare to get it passed, etc.
Yes, I hope Americans do remember our history. I hope they remember the lies and corruption of the party you support.
Let me get this straight. The democrat party forced Wall Street banks to make loans they knew would fail? The only issue I have with that is Wall Street tells our major parties what to do and how far to jump. I suppose the Democrat party also forced rating agencies to rate all those forced loans as AAA.
This is good news. I love to see Latin America moving left. Its only a matter of time before our country moves left for real (none of this half assed current Democrat efforts).
One of the drawbacks of the Right is after they fix the economic mess left by Leftists the people get complacent and succumb to the rosy rhetoric of the Left. Happened in NYC so it's not surprising.
Eh, I don't think the average leftist in Chile is all that similar to the average leftist in America, so I would be very reluctant to draw any conclusions from that race. There are currently examples of countries that are moving to the right as well as to the left.

By "our country" do you mean the U.S. or California? Just kidding, but I don't think anything is truly inevitable in American politics. Certain things are likely, but there is always uncertainty - just look at Thomas Dewey's inevitable win in 1948 or Karl Rove's Permanent Republican Majority.
She is the former president of Chile. I wouldn't think too many things will change.
