Experts?

Well, one thing is certain, the expert fear mongers of the W, Rove and Co know of which they speak. In today's speech given by W in Brazil, Shrub professes to know what style of government is good for our Latin American neighbors. The former reflects what he purports to be, and the latter, is what his administration is in reality:
One, he said, pursues representative government, integration into the world community and freedom's transformative power for individuals.

"The other seeks to roll back the democratic progress of the past two decades by playing to fear, pitting neighbor against neighbor and blaming others for their own failures to provide for the people," he said.
Am I on target of way off base?

The whole text can be found on the whitewashhouse web location. You may be curious enough to read the whole thing as I did. Here's the excerpt quoted in the article above and one more paragraph I found that was interesting; proving once again that it is much easier to give advice than to live the talk. Bullshit walks. I stand for integrity instead. Let's vote these bastards out.
Ensuring social justice for the Americas requires choosing between two competing visions. One offers a vision of hope -- it is founded on representative government, integration into the world community, and a faith in the transformative power of freedom in individual lives. The other seeks to roll back the democratic progress of the past two decades by playing to fear, pitting neighbor against neighbor -- and blaming others for their own failures to provide for their people. The choices we make will determine which vision will define the Americas our children inherit --and we must make tough decisions today to ensure a better tomorrow.

...
The citizens of the Americas look to us, the elected leaders, to make his dream a reality -- and to lead by example. Governments across this hemisphere must be strong, must listen to the people, and must not squander their money. Governments across this hemisphere must be free of corruption. Governments across this hemisphere must be accountable -- and we must live by the same standard we set for others. By making the blessings of freedom real in our hemisphere, we will advance the cause of social justice and set a shining example for the rest of the world.
