QPs,
A girl in my classes went on a mission trip to Guatemala over spring break. She came back saying how horrible the conditions were and that it was all America's fault, someone obviously told her all this.
Today another girl who went on the same trip published an article in JMU's newspaper reiterating what this girl had told me. Stating that much of the strife there was a result of our support and military advisorship of some Guatamalan faction during the cold war. She states our military training which we provided was put to ill use in Guatemala's civil war.
Here is the article:

I'm fairly cynical when I hear about how America is at fault for a country's suffering. So...did America bail on Guatemala or is this another case of some liberal indoctrinating students with hate-america BS?
