S. to avoid "entangling alliances," Bolivar was an internationalist, dreamed and wrote of a League of Nations with Panama as its Geneva. The real difference is that George Washington was a large, blue-eyed, red-headed Anglo-Saxon. Simon Bolivar was a small, black-eyed Latin. Both were born aristocrats, able generals.
