Bandit Country

Del Times:

"Now Latin America is just another headache on Mr Bush’s onerous foreign policy agenda. He is disliked more there than perhaps anywhere outside the Arab world. A poll last week for Latinobarómetro, a Chile-based polling organisation, found that in every single South American country favourable impressions of the US have declined sharply in the five years of Mr Bush’s presidency. To his chagrin, his approval ratings in the region trail those of Hugo Chávez, the rumbustious President of Venezuela who has made himself popular mainly by the vigour of his anti-Bush rhetoric. "

"The President has made the promotion of democracy around the world the main aim of his foreign policy. But with the exception of America’s 50-year-old nemesis, Cuba, whose leader, Fidel Castro, is not invited to the summit, Latin America is wholly democratic. And yet relations between Washington and its neighbours to the south are much more complex and fraught now than they were when the US had reliable dictators as friends throughout the region."
