Guatemala,

Another LatAm country struggling to keep up with the demands of life. We have done a hell of a lot to bring Guatemala out of the iron age and into the space age by passing the atomic and nuclear ages. Aside from it's sea food, agricultural produce and it's touristic remnants of the past Mayan civilization there is not much in the way of resources for the locals to prosper on, so corruption is up, and at every level. Meanwhile, other better off countries are poised to take advantage of the poverty and procure the few remaining resources availlable for a hand full of change which will last a day or two. Now with the population growth of Guatemala out of controll, Where will they be, 5, 10, 20 years down the time road? NAFTA is an important part of their future, as purchasing and procuring items of neccessity cost 2 to 10 times more than in the US... But where is NAFTA? stuck in Mexico somewhere... With this in mind, can you imagine how the power plays from the different factions and segments of the entire social structure come into play. How should help/support be rendered?
A tourist travels to Guatemala, hears a story form an underpaid native Guatemalan from an unknown faction, then writes a book on how America ruined that country... excuse me....Stand in the door!!!!!!!!
