South American Spat

"Tiff with Bolivia turns personal

LIMA - Peru's president said yesterday that he's sick of President Evo Morales of Bolivia criticizing Peru's trade pact with the United States, spreading false rumors about American military bases and urging Peruvians to protest in the streets. Relations further deteriorated when Morales called Garcia "fat." President Alan Garcia said he is tempted to borrow the words that Spain's king tossed at President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela last year: "Why don't you shut up? Stick to your own country and don't meddle in mine (AP July 2 2008)."

Yeah! Only the CIA is allowed to do that!
