truthteller,
You are so damn stupid it's shocking.
YOU asked what turmoil!!!!
The instability of sportsbooks in C.R. was sparked by pressure from the U.S. because the Costa Rican Embassador took a neutral stand on the war, NOT AGAINST THE WAR OR THE STATES, PHUCKING NEUTRAL, which kind of makes sense from a country with no military! Since I see you have no foresight whatsoever, I'll explain this. There are 12,000 or more people working in sportsbooks in C.R., at an average of $800 per employee per month, that's $9,600,000 moving through their economy on a monthly basis. That aside from office space rental, phone/internet services paid, computer purchases, etc. The loss of the industry would cause resession if not depression. Now here's the bite in the ass, the U.S. has a long history of subsidising C.R., as it is a strategically located, peaceful ally of the states. United fruit and Dole have history here. Numerous products manufactured here are exported to the states. The oil crisis of the 70's was not felt here because of U.S. assistance. Ollie North used to hang out here at the Del Rey when Ronnie Raygun was phucking up Nicaragua. The Costa Rica jungles were also used for military training bases and hidden landing strips during that time period. Now a days, it's a location used to try and break down drug trafficing channels. It's going get expensive to keep up the habit of maintaining economic stability if they screw up the C.R. sportsbook industry.
Now apart from all that Costa Rica houses, something like 30,000 American and Candians. It has been an ally for years, is not a potential threat as they have no military and don't not believe in war. However you would write them off for not having our French-fobia. Funny that conservatives always go on and on about freedom and rights, and that one of our most important rights be freedom of expression, yet they seem to want to embargo or bomb anybody with a different opinion than us.
truthteller you are a simple, small minded man that perpetuates the stereotype across the globe that we Americans are ignorant, self-centered, nationalistic bafoons, without a clue as to what goes on in the world.
