Why?
In the rescue of miners today, and in the heroic recovery from a monster earthquake several months ago, Chile shows up as a country of immense competence.
They can git 'er done.
This used to be a hallmark of North America, but we've lost it as shown painfully by Katrina and BP.
The crown of competence now passes to the South.
Why?
My hypothesis:
Chile had Pinochet. We didn't.If we had been blessed with a Pinochet, our Soviet subversives would have been dead for 35 years now, and they wouldn't have been shredding our civilization and culture for 35 years. The Bush family, the Kennedy family, the Gore family, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Paul Ehrlich, John Holdren, Betty Friedan, Catharine MacKinnon, John and Teresa Kerry, George Soros, Hank Paulson.... all would have been dead or imprisoned before they could do significant damage. All the genocidal laws made by these enemies of humanity, all the obstacles to achievement, all the cultural wreckage, all the bitter lonely impoverished people, all the murderously false "science" and criminally fraudulent "economics" ...
simply wouldn't have happened.What an eternal blessing that would be!
But we didn't receive it. Chile did.
