If Obama really wants to improve relations between USA and Latin America http://english.pravda.ru/hotspots/conflicts/12-03-2010/112574-imperialism_iran_latin_america-0

Gone are the days when American politicians could hardly tell the location of Brazil on the world map. It's getting past the time when United States diplomacy in Latin America is remarkable for its policy of "Big Stick," or "big stick."It is no longer a time that the foreign head of Brazil would take his shoe to be searched at a US airport. Finally, it was the time when a President of Brazil, in a gesture of neo-colonial approval, proclaimed that "what is good for the United States is good for Brazil."The US Secretary of State also took advantage of the tour to address an audience of academics, journalists and related services in an ideological crusade -- in the style of "Manifest Destiny" -- on behalf of "free trade" and other non-historical boastings.

Latin America does not need models or guides. We are signatories to the same claims that led the United States to spark a backlash to British rule and declare independence in 1776. We want sovereignty.On the other hand, it is good to note that if Barack Obama really wants to improve relations between his country and Latin America, he should begin by practicing what he preaches in his speeches, beginning with breaking the maintenance of subsidies to his farmers.It is shameful to teach free trade to the world as he massively subsidizes their agricultural economy, an issue recently recognized by the Organization of International Trade, the WTO.
