I'm researching the Dos Erres Massacre in Guatemala right now, for a history class. It happened in the early 80s.
It's fucking horrific. And it's just one part of a larger horrific series of events, that we (the USA) pretty much put into action, encouraged/funded, all while publicly denouncing it. Cuz that's how we roll. (It's fucking disgusting.)
Did you know about this? I didn't. My history education up til now really, really sucked.
Here's an NPR radio broadcast (good old Ira Glass) about it, published just last year:

I'll post my expanded thoughts on this later, when I'm done with them.
