By most press accounts, President Bush took a pounding at the recent Americas Summit in Mar del Plata, Argentina. But two other presidents, Nestor Kirchner of Argentina and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, have the most bruises.
By his visit to Mexico and first official trip to Central and SouthAmerica, President Bush can show that Latin America is once again aU.S. priority. He will have the opportunity to cement cooperationon common goals: bolstering hemispheric security, free trade, anddemocracy.
Despite the widespread adoption of democratic elections andcivilian rule, and despite the development of nascent marketeconomies, Latin America is less stable and prosperous than it was10 years ago. If the Bush Administration wants to help alleviatesome the problems in the Western Hemisphere before they demandattention as the Middle East does, it must begin to support deeperreforms, update its security policy, and better articulate itsinterests in the region.
