Ben,

What you describe doesn''t sound like anti-American sentiment so much as anti-rich folk opportunism.

If you look up Belize at this site, http://travel.state.gov/belize.html, you don''t find much in the way of warning that you won''t find in any Central American country, or any third world country for that matter.

If your friend has information beyond what is sited in this report, it hasn''t made in into the daily updates.
