President Evo Morales expels USAID from country following years of fomenting opposition

Following President Evo Morales' expulsion of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) from Bolivia on Wednesday, some analysts are saying the only surprising thing about the news is in how long it took.

He also called USAID an "instrument that still has a mentality of domination," La Prensa reports.

Comment: Way to go President Morales.  And not a moment to soon.

More countries should kick out USAID which is just a tool/front for the CIA.

Onward!
