As an Argentine I admit we are always way too quick to blame others for our problems. Whereas I think the CIA is a nasty organisation responsible for the killing of thousands if not millions of people and most of the developed countries have terrible double standards, I think most of our problems have been created by ourselves.
The dictatorship was not a natural disaster, something that fell from the sky. Most Argentines celebrated when the military took power. The military was acclaimed by almost everyone (except the leftist guerrilla). Why? People were tired of the bombings, kidnappings, killings and above all the inaction of the government.
And I am afraid the acceptance of another military government is today higher than it was in the last 30 years...this government is just crap and does nothing to protect its citizens. The chaos has invaded all, the institutions don't exist, the Parliament is a puppet, the oposition doesn't come with anything solid enough. The big difference with the earlies 70's is that there are not bombings and killings yet. Let's wait to see if Moyano, D'Elia and all those parasites start fighting each other.
The economic problems were (are) also our mistake. It may be that the odd crisis was caused by speculation à la Greece, but even when we have beautiful oportunities like 2-3 years ago when the commodity prices rocketed, the government is just too stupid to do much good. The KKs see a danger where there is an opportunity. Why someone would try to destroy the industry responsible for the economic bonanza? It's beyond my understanding.
I know that the KKs are not able to do anything right, so I am patienly awaiting their end next year. The biggest problem I see is the lack of an alternative and how the leaders of the opposition keep fighting each other instead of uniting and fight to reconstruct the country.
Again, we are to blame for it.
