Close the School of the Americas!!

       The "School of the Americas" (SOA) has been open and operating since 1946. The United States is in charge and operating the SOA, which was originally established on Panama in 1946. Then it was moved out of the country in 1984 under the terms of the Panama Canal Treaty. The SOA has trained over 60,000 Latin American soldiers in order to overthrow corrupt governments. I believe that the U.S should not be able to operate this organization which trains people to follow the practice of coup d'etat. The organization has former graduates that have been part of some of the worst massacres, and killings in the last 59 years in Latin America. After looking and reading through the website SOA Watch, an independent organization that seeks to close the SOA, I saw that this is not a good cause after all. Why?The United is responsible for the number of innocent people that die every day all around Latin America. This school should not even be up and running, why would someone want to be trained to kill and "assassin" others that are innocent. It's more depressing and it hurts to see Colombia as one of the countries that is involved in this organization. It is wrong to destroy life's of innocent workers, educators, union organizers, and leaders that want to make their country a better place. I believe that the United States is making the lifestyle of many Latin Americans unstable and insecure. After reading "men drove in trucks, opened fire, and threw grenades indiscriminately", I saw that there is no benefits at all for this organization, and that SOA should see the numbers of people dying because of their operations. How could the so called Boss of the World operate such a school? Finally, the SOA should be definitely closed so that those innocent people are not at stake and so they can practice human rights.
