Cincy, there is so much going on "under the radar" in Central & South America- and we Northern Americans really need to pay attention to it!
It is not merely the tentacles of terrorism, but trade in contraband ( drugs, money, immigrants, and more.... ), the oil supply and mineral resources down there, the immense potential of a large population to become a powerful economic force. So much potential, good and bad. Let me fetch some links:
The Web of Terror
Castro, the Carribean, and Terrorism
Thank you for the great LINKS!! We need to be aware of the anti-American forces in our own back yard. They're sitting right on our doorstep.
