And of course Central America has been a mess for years, one we do little but exploit. It's taken a dictator to fix El Salvador, which makes you wonder if the cynical policies of FDR ('He may be an SOB, but he's OUR SOB' he said of Somoza's father in Nicaragua) weren't better for the U.S.
The same problems exist elsewhere, too. And they tend to lead to reactionary and right-wing 'solutions.'
