has Paraguay been de-listed for killing its people?
Does Paraguay's 'political' wrongdoings in any way compare to those of Chavez in Venezuela?
Geoff, clearly the entire reason that Paraguay is being marginalized is due to the fact that it is not following the socialist path. None of these politicians actually believe there was a coup or any type of wrongdoing in Paraguay with the impeachment of Lugo, but it serves them a bigger purpose. In the end Paraguay will be just fine since it has successfully prevented another dictatorship from starting up and with its continued open market policies, low taxes, its economy will be just fine. As for the other nations like Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Brazil, and nearly the rest of Latam, the socialism will slowly bring them to poverty; sad but true.

Thanks, guys.
Sep 19th, 2012 - 07:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0Syria has always been a dictatorship in a region of dictatorships, Paraguay has fallen to a coup in a region of democracies and emerging democracies, therefore the suspension of Paraguay is more logical than the suspension of Syria...
