...indifference to Latin America, the President is viewed as having all but turned his back on the region after most Latin American capitals declined to back his invasion of Iraq. But Bush's hemispheric cold shoulder has backfired: It created a political vacuum that has been largely filled by neo-leftists like Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who was expected to join tens of thousands of raucous demonstrators Friday marching through Mar del Plata to denounce Bush and his all-but-doomed efforts to forge a hemispheric free trade pact...

The initial military success in the Iraq war left the American administration, particularly its leading neo-cons, with a sense of immense gratification. Not only had their unilateral campaign toppled a regime believed to have been one of the most threatening in the region, but it also supposedly opened the doors for rapid democratization in a region that was for long ruled by edge of the sword.This...
