Even Paranoids Have Real Enemies

Bolivia's President Evo Morales is expressing concern about the possibility that rightist forces might win the upcoming elections in Chile and Argentina. This article in MercoPress has the story and suggests the right has a real chance to win in both countries.

I suspect Morales' concern is well-founded. If the right should win elections in either or both of those neighboring countries, it would probably be bad news for leftist Morales. Such governments-of-the-right might well give aid to the forces in Bolivia that oppose the nativist/leftist government of Morales.
