The Brookings Institution better think about the Friday Night Video
Jennifer Rose (“Staring at Strangers“):
The average Estadounidense doesn’t think about what lies south of its border very often, and when he does, he thinks of the border wars, Mexican immigrants, and some nasty business in Colombia, with a taco thrown in for good measure. Even the above-average, well=-educated Estadounidenses, the kind who’re respected by their peers and often even put into positions of great authority, don’t pay much attention to Latin America, tossing off gems like “Mexico doesn’t have a real middle class.” These folks desperately need to rethink Latin America, starting right here at the Brookings Institution’s report on Rethinking U.S.-Latin American Relations. Even if the report is plagued with platitudes, partnerships and dialogues.
You can read through the Brookings Institution’s report if you want to plow through the bullshit. But the problem and solution is much simpler. Benito Juarez defined it (Peace between neighbors and nations is respect for the rights of others) but Aretha Franklin said it better:
