I think we're painting a picutre of globilization with too broad of a paint brush. In Boliva it appears private investment has raised the standard of living, but is it in a nation where there is a democratic or fear based type of government? It looks like Bolivia is barely holding on by a thread to its democratic type of government.

What happens if they are taken over by force by the communist leftist element? What happens to all the private investment?

It appears Globilization can be a good thing, but it only makes sense within certain paramenters. Does the country receiving the benefit of globilization have a democratic or fear based government, e.g. China, North Korea, Venezuela, etc.

Without isolating nations with a strong committment to having a non fear based government, it seems globalization only makes our enemies stronger.
