Ecuador is the site of the USA’s only military base in South America and it is a portion of a civilian airport restored by the American government.

The cover story is that the base is a center for the War on Drugs but naysayers believe most of its activity is directed towards airborne command and control operations connected to the civil war in Colombia.

The lease on the facilities expires in 2009.

Local do-gooder projects inspire some local goodwill but many national leaders are more likely to say, “Yanqui…go home!”
