Exiled Bolivian President Evo Morales Calls for "National Dialogue"
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico City, exiled Bolivian President Evo Morales said Wednesday
he's willing to return to Bolivia to join a "national dialogue," after
he was forced by the military to step down Sunday in what he's described
as a U.S.-backed coup d'état. Morales blamed the Washington, D.C.-based
Organization of American States - the OAS - for his ouster, saying it
falsely accused his government of vote tampering in last month's
presidential election.

Evo Morales: "The OAS made a political decision, not a technical or
legal one. This is a report - now I have realized from the
recommendations of some leftist brothers and sisters - that the OAS is
not in the service of the people of Latin America, less so the social
movements. The OAS is at the service of the North American empire."
