Obama's Latin America Policy

Recent article from Mother Jones by Greg Grandis. Latin America reengaged. Hold onto your hats, the US radar is pointing back to the Continent. Time to shake off the dust from the Monroe Doctrine and re-exert hegemony in the area. I can see the rising star, Parag Khanna, author of 'The Second World', playing a part here. Part of his theory is that we're moving into a tripartite world where the EU, China, and the US will be the centres of the new, new world order, so all the more reason for the US to concentrate on consolidating it's power in it's region. Great news for Canada too, as the US thumb will be pressing even harder on good old Canada (or, what's left of it). Includes a speech by Obama in Miami on his Latin America policy. So the race is on. Can Latin America achieve more cohesiveness while fending off US power? Can the US abide by the turning left of much of The Americas. Stay tuned.
