"Forced to land in Vienna, left waiting on the tarmac for and
only allowed to leave after half a day – the treatment of Evo Morales has
stirred up fury in Latin America, a region that has long bristled at the

president by imperial powers that violates the Vienna convention and its
national sovereignty. Venezuela, Argentina, Ecuador and Uruguay have joined in
the condemnation. Angry headlines have been splashed on newspapers across the region." (thanks Amir)
