Latin American Realities For Obama

Obama’s visit to Mexico and the Organization of American States meeting in Trinidad-Tobago should be about frank discussions leading to constructive engagements which puts America’s interest first. Obama should offer to shake the hand of Latin America and talk not fill that hand with an unrestricted donation of cash. History has taught us that neither American meddling nor American foreign aid will be the major instruments of successful reform. The Kissinger approach of constructive engagement is the model to follow with the strict understanding we have limited resources and domestic priorities.
