#3 It's interesting how bass-ackward press coverage of Latin and South America is.

Just ask any recent college grad, or MSM viewer or reporter, to name the four largest SA countries, or the two largest in Central American. Odds are they'd get less than 3 of them.

Mexico is spiraling into chaos, but so much of the focus is on the failing leftists of SA, and so little on the increasingly successful right and center-right countries.

Sure bad news leads, but we don't need to give Hugo a forum (much as the current administration seems inclined to), and Ecuador and Bolivia are not as far degraded as Venezuala, let alone Cuba. They can still self-correct, much as their "leaders" seek to prevent it.

Meanwhile, what's the latest bad political news from Brazil, Colombia, Peru or Chile? How about Guatemala or Honduras?

Someday Ecuador will be a rich country; chance alone indicates they'll stumble into a competent leader at some point, and she won't need to do much.

#4 PS - anyone check Iran's press - I'm sure Israel had some involvement here as well!
