Bolivian Politics

I've been following in a limited way the current upheaval in Bolivia.  NPR had an interview with several people in Santa Cruz yesterday, re: ambassadors expelled/withdrawn, 8 killed, Evo's relationship with Venezuela's Chavez. 

How about a few comments from Jeff F, Tom F, Doug L,  Jeff S,  Dwight, and others regarding this situation.  ( I believed everything you guys ever said!).  Is Evo's goal the Nationalization via co-ops, etc. of Bolivia's mineral/agricultural production?  This verses a fierce push back from Santa Cruz and Bolivia's eastern regions who's growing prosperity and cultural differences are wanting separation?  Please correct me on this. 

How might this be resolved.
Thanks and regards.

Reunion?

Any thoughts about a REUNION?

Next Summer? Mid-West? JUST Group 29?

What do people think?
