Nope. American hegemony in the region has left most countries with the equivalent of feudalistic economic systems ... e.g. two classes: those who can steal what they can and those who suffer what they must.
It is the genetic deficiency of Latin and South American peoples that has led to American (US) dominance in the region!
DUH!
and this has been traced back to Spanish genetic deficiencies...

Also let me tell you something.. it seems like the Colombians had some god damn common sense in electing Alvaro Uribe. He secured the nation and opened it up for investment, improving the economic situation and lowering unemployment. What has Chavez done? Nothing of the sort, and he is bankrupting his country.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Uribe is a good apple out of all the rotten ones in Latin America. He is actually doing things right, and proving left wing losers like Chavez wrong. Uribe and Chavez aren't really on talking terms.

BOGOTA, Colombia - Colombian President Alvaro Uribe formally announced that he will run for a second term in next year's elections, saying Sunday he needed four more years to accomplish his goals of restoring security to the country and spurring economic growth.
Uribe, a close U.S. ally, becomes the first Colombian president in more than a century to run for re-election. The move came after his supporters in Congress passed a constitutional amendment earlier this year lifting a long-standing ban on presidential re-election. Colombia's highest court upheld the change.
"I will work so that our country can consolidate democratic security, meet the social goals of eradicating poverty and definitively root out corruption," Uribe, 53, said in a brief televised speech announcing his decision.
Polls show that Uribe would sweep to victory in the May 28 presidential vote, thanks to his tough military policies against leftist rebels and drug traffickers. In the 3 1/2 years since he came to power, crime has dropped, the economy has been on the upswing and the army has pushed the guerrillas from many of their traditional strongholds.
This South American country has not seen a president re-elected since the 1800s. Critics of the amendment note that re-election has a poor track record in the region, with second-term leaders often veering toward authoritarianism.
Jaime Dussan, leader of the left-wing Independent Democratic Pole party, acknowledged that Uribe will be hard to beat.
"Uribe has occupied all the political ground in the country," Dussan told local radio Sunday.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Critics say that. Doesn't mean critics will be right. And if he is president for life, then at least things will be done right. Afterall, look how well the country is doing. If you weren't so braindead, you would look at the reality and how popular he really is.
