I'm glad that once again, the military cans still another rogue Communist. This is how it's done!

Bolivian President Evo Morales resigns amid fraud poll protests - BBC News

On Sunday, international monitors called for the election result to be annulled, saying they had found "clear manipulations" of the 20 October poll.

Mr Morales agreed with the findings and announced his intention to call fresh elections - after overhauling the country's election body.

But politicians - and the army and police chiefs - had urged him to quit.

In a televised address, Mr Morales said: "I resign my post as president."

His Vice-President, Alvaro Garcia Linera, also resigned.

Protesters took to the streets to celebrate, chanting "yes we could" and setting off fire crackers.

Yes, it is only right and just that the military control the government and citizens.

The idea that the consent of the governed shall make a government legitimate is pure BS. The generals rule, here and there.
