Issues / Strengthening Latin American Allies and Confronting Tyrants
We should act to inform public opinion in Latin America.
Reasons to agree:
- Leaders will do what the people want.
- It is easy to hate America, because of our mistakes in the past, because people hate the rich, and nationalism makes people hate outsiders. But if they get past their envy, nationalist tendencies, and evaluate us as a whole, they will see that our sacrifice in the World Wars, our standing up to Soviets who wanted to rule the world, our commitment to democracy and the rule of law, freedom of the press, foreign aid, show that on whole we are pretty good neighbors.
- We should use our world renowned media and communications savvy to spread the truth about American freedom, and Castro tyranny.
- New strong-men ('caudillos') must not reverse the Hemisphere's hard fought economic and political freedoms.
- The United States and our partners in the region must continue to reject the policies of leaders such as Venezuela's Hugo Chavez that move to consolidate power, limit dissent and revert to failed socialist policies.
