Molotov Cocktails and the Free Trade Area of the Americas
November 6, 2005 – 11:09 pm
the Summit of the Americas is being celebrated:
molotov cocktail: an incendiary bomb made from a breakable container, such as a bottle, filled with flammable liquid and provided with a rag wick. Used by the Soviets against the invading German armies in World War II, these bombs were nicknamed after V. M. Molotov, a foreign minister of the Soviet Union at that time. { the new dictionary of cultural literacy. 3rd edition}
oh dear.. looks like the discussion on free trade for the americas is beset with trouble yet again. the “highest hemispheric political forum” is being held in Argentina and a few people have had a few things to say. e.g. Chavez. interesting viewing the mainstream american news headlines…“Chavez aims to challenge Bush on trade!” , “Anti-American protest rages before Summit!”
