What are the top stories of 2008?

With 2008 coming soon to a close we’re interested in finding out what have been the most important headlines of the year. Thus, this Sunday (December 14th) we will reveal our poll where you can choose the top news stories that have affected the Americas.

Before doing so, however, we would like to know your ideas for which news stories we can include in the poll. It can be item we’ve talked about in this blog or something you’ve read about elsewhere. Maybe it’s an underreported story or something that has specifically touched you.

If you have any ideas of what we can include in the poll please comment to this post or e-mail us at ourlatinamerica@yahoo.com. We’re always glad to hear from you, our esteemed readers.

Couple of ideas outside of the financial crisis stories....

- Diplomatic kerfuffle between Bolivia, Venezuela, Honduras, and US (September 2008)

- Colombian rescue operation of Ingrid Betancourt and other hostages (July 2008)

- Historic election of Fernando Lugo in Paraguay (April 2008)
