Obama was in El Salvador, where he visited the tomb of Oscar Romero. If he apologized for the US’s financing of the death squads that murdered the archbishop, I must have missed it.
Obama goes to Chile, totally fails to apologize for US support for the 1973 coup, much less send Henry Kissinger in chains.[...]
“I think it’s very important for all of us to know our history. And obviously the history of relations between the United States and Latin America has at times been extremely rocky.” But it’s also important “that we’re not trapped by our history,” which I think means that Chile should forget about the US’s role in establishing a brutal military dictatorship, just like we have.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
