...widely hailed for - Latin America's first real effort at free-market capitalism, which the rest of the region adopted in the 1990s - looks tarnished today. One leftist President after another has taken the oath of office this year because Latin voters are fed up with the failure of capitalist reforms to narrow the widest divide between rich and poor of any region in the world.

As Ortega's poll numbers climbed, the Bush Administration went into panic mode, publicly...
...least of which include the present U.S. Administration's uninformed and shortsighted policies. My hope for the future lies in the goals, purposes and accomplishments of the U.N. Peg Maher Cedar Rapids, Iowa, U.S. I applaud Krauthammer's realistic take on the North Korean issue - that a "dynamic, capitalist, reunited Korea" would be stiff competition for a China that aspires to impose its will on East Asia, hence Beijing keeps its unruly neighbor alive and refuses to support tough U.N. sanctions against North Korea.
