Bolivia and Venezuela both expel American ambassadors.
"Venezuela's Chavez says US ambassador must leave." "Meanwhile, Washington expels top Bolivian diplomat in political tit-for-tat."
Venezuela's sin was nationalizing oil so as to provide citizens with basic human needs, and Bolivia wants to do the same with natural gas. To improve the lot of their native Indian population. That is not in line with the US goal of having those resources in the hands of the multinational oil companies. Therefore the US stirs up as much trouble for them as it can.
A tragic waste of tax dollars and effort.
