    Nice point on El Salvador.
    This country needs a lot a lot to reconstruct and restore. Ban corruption, full respect of civil rights and social justice is fundamental to create a new society and be a model of real democracy.Good luck for Funes.

    The times are changing and Jacob Wheeler has depicted so well the hope of the people of El Salvador to end the anguish caused by the privatizations and neoliberalism. I hope the salvadorians will no longer swallow the propaganda of fear linking the communism with the desire to break the status quo of social injustice.
