Your rant about diminished U.S. influence, etc, notwithstanding, how does it help anyone if they declare independence from our evil iron fist? Isn't this like deciding that you're going to start using base-16 for your phone numbers? You can't call anyone, they can't call you. Congrats, you're a big man now, but how have you helped yourself?
Other than the lucky opportunist who gets to be "amazon.com" in Chile, who wins? Certainly not the people in Chile hoping to order a book online.
