U.S. Role

U.S. Role in the Latin America and the Caribbean
Turning our attention today to our own backyard. What should be the U.S. role in Latin America and the Caribbean?

He believes the military presence elevates tension in the region, drains manpower that could be put tobetter use, and causes environmental devastation.
