----------------------------------------------------------------------



At a regional military summit, Bolivian President Evo Morales called on
Latin American leaders on Monday to boost regional unity, warning that
democracy is being threatened by U.S. interventionist policies. Morales
accused the U.S. of backing several coups in the region.

Evo Morales: "Of the countries which they (U.S.) have backed coup
attempts from 2002 in Venezuela, 2008 Bolivia, 2009 Honduras, 2010
Ecuador; we must recognize, fellow Latin Americans, that the U.S. beat
us in Honduras."
