Early this year, Bush adviser Karl Rove boasted, "We can go to the country on this [war on terrorism] issue because they trust the Republican Party to do a better job of protecting and strengthening America's military might and thereby protecting America."

"There was a wicked sorcery in Asia," he writes, and in Standard Deviations he deconstructs that magic...

But they couldn't whip the plague of corrupt elites, absentee judicial systems and addiction to foreign capital that made Latin American capitalism as ripe for abuse and collapse as an Enron office suite.
